Another Musical Biopic For Jamie Foxx....



Jamie Foxx has limited himself to action movies and musicals since his turn in the Oscar spotlight. He’s sticking with the formula, and probably hoping for another chance at an Oscar. He’s signed on to play Nathanial Anthony Ayers, a Julliard-trained musician who ended up homeless on skid row after suffering from schizophrenia. If Jamie Foxx, an expert imitator, is good at one thing, it’s a biopic. Oh. I guess some people would have said comedy there instead of biopics.

The movie’s based on a series of articles on Ayers that appeared in the LA Times in 2005. I didn’t read them all, but they are worth checking out.
