While speaking to Cedric the Entertainer on his latest film, ‘Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins’, he mentioned to blackfilm.com that Beyonce has been cast to play famed singer Etta James on his next film, ‘Cadillac Records’.

The story is about Leonard Chess, the legendary founder of the South Side Chicago blues label Chess Records. The period piece follows the rise and fall of Chess Records, which launched the careers of such R&B greats as Muddy Waters, Etta James and Chuck Berry.

Good to see Beyonce taking her acting seriously and picking the right roles.

    Realtalkny you kinda late on this news but singing is what Beyonce does best so if playing a singer is the roles she likes then so be it. This will probably be another box office hit for her since her fans always support her no matter what. I just hope she throws down on my song “at last” because that’s a classic right there. I wish her luck.
