Will.I.am and Beyonce have a passion for movies....




It looks as if Beyonce's got that acting bug again. It has been confirmed that she will portray legendary Jazz and Blues singer Etta James in Cadillac Records. She will not only star in the movie, but has signed on as an executive-producer of the film. Cadillac Records, written and directed by Darnell Martin, is a 1950's period piece, which chronicles the rise and eventual demise of Chess Records. Chess Records was responsible for launching the careers of legendary greats such as, Muddy Waters, Etta James, and the Chuck Berry. The movie will begin filming early this year and is set to star Adrien Brody, Beyonce, Cedric the Entertainer, and possibly Mos Def.




In other news, Will.i.am will make his acting debut in the X-men spin-off devoted to the character of Wolverine. The movie is titled, "X-men Origins: Wolverine." I am not too sure if this film has entered the filming phase as of yet. However, Will.i.am has signed on to play the character of John Wraith, also known as Kestrel, a mutant who has the ability to teleport himself. Hugh Jackman will reprise his role as Wolverine in this film.

I wonder if Will.i.am will add some Hip-Hop flava to the score or soundtrack of this film? Who knows? It may add some zest to the movie. We have already seen Beyonce in a few movies already and she actually did a great job in Dreamgirls. Do you think Will.i.am has what it takes to pull it off in "X-Men Origins?"
