Beyonce is set to play legendary blues singer Etta James in the upcoming film ‘Cadillac Records’. The movie is set in the Southside of Chicago, and tells the story of Leonard Chess, played by Oscar winner Adrien Brody. It was Chess’ record label, Chess records that launched the careers of Etta James, Muddy Waters, and Chuck Berry. Cedric the entertainer will also be co-staring in this movie.
Beyonce lost a ton of weight for her role in Dream Girls, I wonder if she will tack on a few pounds to play Etta?… And rumor has it that Ms. Beyonce is stepping her game up, she will be co-producing this movie. Go head Bey! I will most definitely be checking for this film.
