Don Cheadle will star, produce, and direct “Miles Ahead“. The story centers on a few dangerous days in the life of Miles Davis, as he emerges from a quiet period to the time he conspires with a Rolling Stone writer to steal back his music.
According to Deadline, Don Cheadle put a lot of his own money in “Miles Ahead”, a movie he has been wanting to get made for years.
Don Cheadle, recently set up a campaign with IndieGoGo to raise money for the production.
“Most studios don’t make these kinds of movies anymore, so we are doing it independently,” Cheadle said in a statement. “I’m personally putting a big chunk of money into our budget as well as putting all my fees back in. But the extra money we hope to raise on Indiegogo will help us re-create the multiple time periods we’re dealing with and with the logistics of incorporating all the music. We are excited to get people talking about the movie early, raise awareness, and set into motion the groundswell of support we hope will continue through to the film’s release.”
