Cadillac Records, the upcoming movie about famed Chess Records, will be adding another modern-day musician to portray another legendary artist on its roster. Many side eyes were a-twiching after news was announced that
Beyoncé would be playing
Etta James, and Miss Etta even had
her say about it. But now it has been revealed that
Mos Def has been slated to fill the shoes of
Chuck Berry. My side eye relaxed a bit after noting some similarities between the two in appearance. Luckily, Mos has no
statutory rape cases or else the similarities would be a little to unsettling. Additionally, master thespian and undervalued actor
Jeffrey Wright will be portraying the role of
Muddy Waters. Now, this movie sounds much more probable to be viewed in theatres than the
Notorious B.I.G. straight-to-DVD biography.

I got to put this on pause until I see some trailers.
