Do You Know Something about James Brown's Movie?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671) 6 years ago

James Brown is dead on 25th december as everybody know (Rip James) and they are already making a movie about his life. It was a great artist that inspirede famous star like Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger.
I heard they are making a cast to choose the protagonist that will play the James Brown role in the movie. Spike Lee is directing the movie and he have to choose famous star like Prince, Eddie Murphy and Wesley Snipes to play the role of James. Who Do you think can play better the role of James Brown? In my opinion Eddie Murphy could fit well because he's funny as James and his a great actor.

Whoever they choose would have to be a great actor and also be a great entertainer. It would be a difficult role and I really can't think of anyone right now. It might be better to get someone less well known otherwise it might just look like a sketch show send up.

yes that's a nice point of view, better choose an unknown actor otherwise it could seems a parody. I didnt think about that! thanks

Prince? I don't think so. Eddie murphy could, I don't know. I bet they will cast people that won't act as well in this movie.


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)  6 years ago

yes Prince lol! I smiled when I heard it. I think Prince doesnt fit at all with James Brown!

I do know some of James Brown and his music, i play´d some of his songs in a cover-band a few years ago, like sexmachine and i feel good, it´s great music not so easy to let i really groove.
About you´re question, it´s a little hard to chose i did´t even know that they planed a movie from his life.
I was a big fan of Prince in the 80´s, i think he maybe could do the job, but i don´t ecspect that he will. Eddie could be
a good thing, i´m not really sure, it´s hard as i said.


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)  6 years ago

Great songs I fell good and sex machine! It think it is quite difficult to do that kind of cover. yes hard choice!


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

Well it worked out fine in that band we had a very good drumer and my brother played the bass like the original, i must say my brother is awesome playing the bass. It´s not just that he has great rythum he also has a great tone, he belongs to the best bass players around our area, but he plays in the wrong band, they just only do covers. But he makes a good side money with it.


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)  6 years ago

your brother must be a very good player!


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

Yes, i gave him lessons in harmony, skales and the notes system. He also has good taste in music and i think that´s the importend thing besides if you have talent.

But to come back to MR. Brown i´m just listening to a record i found from him, i nearly forgot that i had it. It´s a live LP from 1980, it´s great, very funky here´s a photo i wrote down the included songs on it.



myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)  6 years ago

Thank you for the pic. Sounds like a great album. I never listened to a JB concert.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

Nop.. i haven´t been to a James Brown concert in my life but i have this record and it´s great, if you see it one day and you are interested in his music then get it.


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)  6 years ago

yes, thank you for let me know about that album. I appreciate live concerts very much.


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lewah69 (1166)  6 years ago

Yes buddy that´s right i agree, i think the most records i have are live recordings, and that´s a lot.


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)  6 years ago

cds live are good but I prefer live dvds watching playing artist is better:)

I'd like to see that movie. I don't know about Eddie Murphy, though... he's got the wrong body type, for one thing--JB was a husky, barrel-chested guy. I could see Murphy doing JB's vocals, though, he's good at impersonating voices.

I'm really lucky to have seen JB live, back in 1985--and I thought he was kind of on the 'old' side back then! Little did I know he'd still be doing his 'Star Time' 20 years later!


myLot reputation of 95/100. jamz82 (671)  6 years ago

Eddie Murphy hasn't the right body, but they special effect could do the work;) Do you remember the movie "The Nutty Professor"? In that Eddie Murphy do lots of characters, the fat doctor, the grandmother and so on! Special effects can transform him well in James Brown I though.
