With Miles Ahead, Don Cheadle both directs and stars as jazz legend Miles Davis.  Originally expected to be released at the end of last year, Miles Ahead is also a film that many of us were expecting to be a definite Oscar contender.  However, the film’s release was delayed, the Oscar nominations led to #OscarsSoWhite trending on twitter for the second year in a row, and Miles Ahead will finally be released in April of this year.

And here’s the trailer!  With a few notable exceptions — like Grand Budapest Hotel — it’s rare that anything too good is ever released in March or April.  But I remain cautiously optimistic, if just because of the pairing of Don Cheadle and Ewan McGregor.
