The true life story of the hardest working man in show business Mr. James Brown, AKA the Godfather of Soul, is getting the Hollywood treatment this year as film called Get On Up. Have a gander at the newly released trailer...

Hmmm, well, the trailer looks alright. I bet the movie won't go THAT deep, but it'll prolly be square with the facts, and filled with all the well known incidents of Brown's life: hella splits, The Apollo, some mashed potatoes, the Flames, angel dust, rhythm and/or blues, wigs, and a LOT of sweat. Also, in the flim's favor, during the trailer's quick cuts, @2:34, I recognize a nod to Brown's little known acting debut, in the 1965 teen film Ski Party, where he has a few lines and lip synced "I Feel Good!" That is cool.

Film due out August 1st, 2014
