I thought Chadwick Boseman did a great job as Jackie Robinson in 42, and from the looks of the trailer for Get On Up, he’ll do a pretty good James Brown too. Boseman might not look or sound exactly like the Hardest Working Man in Show Business, but if Frank Langella in Frost/Nixon taught us anything, it’s that it’s way more important to nail the character. That’s right: Chadwick Boseman is the black Frank Langella.

Hey, that doesn’t look half bad! It’s always nice to see Dan Aykroyd on screen. I’m just nervous about Tate Taylor’s involvement. What do you guys think?
