Ferriday La. is correct. I've been there. Nice little Louisiana Music Museum there - not much else. Although I was told Jerry's sister can be talked into doing tours of the Killer's original home - don't know if that's true.

Did he have lunch?

"The story of rags to riches has been told many times throughout the history of the American Dream, but never quite like this. Rejoined by some of the cast members from his movie “The Help,” director Tate Taylor, a Mississippi native, is bringing the story of the Godfather of Soul to life on the silver screen. The movie is to be titled “Get On Up,” starring Chadwick Boseman, the star from “42,” as James Brown, the rhythm and blues legend himself. Filming begins this Monday in Natchez".

Mick Jagger-Produced James Brown Biopic Casts Its Mick Jagger

CW star Nick Eversman will play the Rolling Stones frontman in "Get on Up," starring Chadwick Boseman as the Godfather of Soul.

It looks like Nick Eversman had the moves like Jagger. He's been cast as Mick Jagger, the Rolling Stones frontman, who along with Brian Grazer, Erica Huggins and Victoria Pearman, is producing Get on Up, Universal and Imagine's biopic centering on James Brown.

Eversman, who has a recurring role on the CW series Tomorrow People, won the role with both an audition and by sending in a side-by-side comparison of himself and the real Jagger. Eversman also sent in a recording he did for HBO's TV movie Cinema Verite in which he sang the Stones' classic Time Is on My Side.

The movie, directed by The Help's Tate Taylor and starring Chadwick Boseman as the Godfather of Soul, traces Brown's rise from humble beginning to stardom to through his eventual drug-fueled downfall. The story at one point calls for a young Brown to engage with a young Jagger at a concert where Brown becomes enraged.
Most of the movie has been cast, as its currently shooting in Atlanta; Eversman now joins Viola Davis, Dan Aykroyd, Octavia Spencer and Craig Robinson, among others on the roll call.

"Just had a great time in Natchez, Mississippi on the shoot of the James Brown movie "GET ON UP".

Chad Boseman is amazing in the title role".

I think he should give me more notice next time he plans on being in my general vicinity for a week.

Good to see that they seem to have enjoyed the area, though, given the number of pics L'Wren has been posting of Natchez-y things.

'Get On Up' producer dines at Parlor Market

JACKSON, Miss. — Hollywood has come to Jackson in a big way.

Filming has been under way for the past few weeks on the James Brown biopic "Get On Up." Crews have been shooting scenes at Thalia Mara Hall, on Farish Street and at the Mississippi Coliseum.

The $30 million Universal Pictures project is produced by rock 'n roll legend Mick Jagger, who dined out Thursday night at Parlor Market, where one of the film's supporting actors, Dan Aykroyd was also spotted earlier this month.

Matthew Kajdan, Parlor Market's executive chef, tweeted out a picture of Jagger.

"He had the duck carbonara," Kajdan said. "It was pretty cool."

Fans have been able to get up close and personal with some of the stars of the film. Aykroyd spent several hours last weekend signing bottles of his Crystal Head Vodka for hundreds of fans at Wine and Spirits in the Quarter.

"Get On Up" stars Chadwick Boseman as Brown, along with Aykroyd as Ben Bart, the president of the agency that represented Brown for 40 years. "The Help" stars Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer have supporting roles in the film. Davis plays Brown's mother and Spencer plays his aunt.

The film is directed by Mississippi native Tate Taylor, who also directed "The Help."

"Get On Up" covers Brown's life from his humble beginnings to the peak of stardom and eventual downfall.

Apparently so, a friend of a friend snapped this pic last night at the Fairview Inn in Jackson, Mississippi. According to them, he said he's in town filming, but what I am not sure. Anyone know? Likely off to Paris soon after this.

Isn't Mick producing the James Brown film? James Brown grew up in the south, and maybe this is some location filming.

A nice hat would probably fit Mick better than a cap........
