The Miles Davis Movie: Don Cheadle Talks Miles Davis Biopic Amid Iron Man 2 Hullabaloo
I'm not sure why the MTV news item about the Biopic not being a cradle-to-grave film should be adorned with an exclusive' headline. We covered this way back in August on the Biopic Blog. Oh well. Still... it's nice to see Don Cheadle having positive things about the Miles Davis Movie: “The story is really not ...
The Miles Davis Movie: Should the Miles Davis Biopic Premier at Cannes?
With the 2010 Festival de Cannes set for May 12-23, I am wondering about the Miles Davis Biopic and if, perhaps, the film could make its debut in the south of France. Once it's finally made, of course. This is pure conjecture, but it makes more sense by the minute, especially when you consider the unique ...
Audiences, and Hollywood, Flock to Smartphones
It might be hard to imagine watching The Office on a screen no bigger than a business card. But tens of thousands of people by the most conservative estimate are already doing just that. As Hollywood shrinks its films and television shows for the small screens of cellphones, its assumptions about mobile viewing are being upended ...
The Miles Davis Movie
A brief update from MTV Says star/director/co-writer Don Cheadle: “The story is really not... a biopic per se. It's not attempting to be any cradle-to-grave depiction of [Miles'] life.

Latest Protester of Comcast - NBC Deal Plays Race Card and Has Ex-FCC Chairman on Board
A recently formed advocacy group has some pretty harsh words for cable giant Comcast Corp. and has hired a former FCC chairman as its counsel. “For decades Comcast has shut the door to African American ownership of cable channels," said Stanley E. Washington, president and chief executive of the National Coalition of African American Owned Media. ...
The Restoration Of 'Metropolis'
It's often been said that silent films are a lost art twice over. Not only are movies without sound not being made anymore, but many of the classics of the period also no longer physically exist. That, however, is not the end of the story. For what's less well known is that pictures long thought to ...
Popularity of 3-D is Affecting How Screenplays Are Written
When Matt Pitts, a writer on “Fringe" and a former assistant to J.J. Abrams, recently began shopping his first film script to movie studios, he knew he had a marketable idea on his hands. The title of his screenplay, after all, was “ Spring Break Zombie Cruise" and its storyline followed, well, just that. But the ...
Uplifting 'Treme' Has Potential to Surpass 'Wire'
Hurricane Katrina was a devastating, depressing debacle whose ramifications are still felt today. Lives were lost, homes were destroyed. You'd think “Treme," a new HBO series that takes place in New Orleans in the months after Katrina, would be a downer, that viewers would be treated to a humbling, depressing television experience. You'd be wrong. “Treme," ...
