Get On Up, director Tate Taylor’s follow-up to his Oscar-winning The Help, finds Chadwick Boseman (42) as the Godfather of Soul, a chronicle of James Brown’s rise from extreme poverty to become one of the most influential musicians in history. Surrounded by Oscar winners (Octavia Spencer, The Help) and Oscar nominees (Viola Davis, Doubt and The Help) and Dan Aykroyd (Driving Miss Daisy), this has all of the trapping of an Oscar-y biopic yet feels a bit light.
The official synopsis:
How deeply will it go into Brown’s later in life troubles? We’ll see when the movie opens August 1, 2014, near the same time The Help did in 2011.
