Just one day after the death of James Brown at age 73 from congestive heart failure, Spike Lee has been signed to direct a biographical movie about the singer, Daily Variety reported today (Wednesday). The trade publication said that the "authorized project" is being developed by Brian Grazer at Paramount, with production likely to begin in 2008.How to make a James Brown biopic:
From IMDb Studio Briefing
1. Copy/paste the script of Ray.
2. Delete banter about being blind and replace it with getting multiple facelifts.
3. Delete the name Ray Charles from the memoriam at the end with James Brown.
4. Get someone to impersonate Brown really well so that people will think it's a good movie when it really isn't.
5. Bask in the money flow from the movie and the hundred other cash-in compilation albums scheduled to coincide with it's release.
