Man, we lost Chadwick way too soon.
His performance in this movie alongside Viola Davis is truly powerful stuff. Viola plays Ma Rainey, the "Mother of the Blues" while Chadwick plays her ambitious trumpeteer, Levee. Set in 1927 in Chicago, this story tells the trials and tribulations this band had to overcome, from greedy promotors, to the pressure of sold out shows, this movie is going to be epic.
This film is an adaptation of the play of the same name by August Wilson. Denzel Washington is also producing the movie and its slated to premiere on Netflix December 18th.
