In his follow-up to the four-time Academy Award®-nominated blockbuster The Help, Tate Taylor directs 42's Chadwick Boseman as James Brown in Get on Up. Based on the incredible life story of the Godfather of Soul, the film will give a fearless look inside the music, moves and moods of Brown, taking audiences on the journey from his impoverished childhood to his evolution into one of the most influential figures of the 20th century.

I like the first trailer but I still can't wait to see it.

There have been so many disappointing "black films" that I'm in edge that Hollywood will fuck up with another one. But i hope this one will finally be the movie that shows black films and black actors can take leads and be hailed as Hollywood cinema darlings at the award season and in the media. I hope this James Brown biopic will be the start of a paradigm shift!

So Chadwick Boseman is Jackie Robinson AND James Brown? Homie getting paid.

Nobody can impersonates James Brown. It's Like Michael Jackson. You can't make a biopic about these kind of guys, they were too special for that, their talent, their body, their face can't be replicated. A good documentary with good quality and exclusive videos would be much more appreciated.
