Malcolm X director Lee to do Brown biopic
Moldova.ORG -- Director Spike Lee signed on to direct a James Brown biopic.
The motion picture is set to pay homage to Brown, the self-proclaimed "hardest working man in show business", who died on Christmas Day at the age of 73.
The energetic singer of such soul anthems as “Sex Machine” and “I Feel Good”, invented funk music, inspired the dance moves of Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson, and helped pave the way for hip-hop.
The posthumous movies about soul singer Ray Charles and country outlaw Johnny Cash scored at the box office and won Academy Awards.
The James Brown flick will be Lee's second incursion into the biopic arena having before directed, “Malcolm X”.
