DON CHEADLE IN TALKS TO STAR IN MILES DAVIS BIOPIC

Don Cheadle has been in negotiations to star in a new

biographical film about jazz legend Miles Davis. Members of

Davis' family announced the news backstage at Monday's Rock and

Roll Hall of Fame ceremony, where the late trumpeter received

a posthumous induction.

"It could touch on many things [like] the way he changed music

in different decades," Davis' nephew, Vince Wilburn, said of

the project. "From Bird to bebop to hip-hop

and in between. Wilburn added that filmmaker Antoine Fuqua

was in discussions to direct the project, but noted,

"First of all we have to get a script."
