Scott will play one  James Brown’s wives, but it is unknown at this time which one she will take on. The late legendary singer was married three times —Velma Warren in 1953, Deidre Jenkins in 1970, Adrienne Lois Rodriguez in 1984.

Get On Up will cover about 30-years of  Brown’s life; from his early life, to his rise to fame, domestic violence  to his peak years in the 1970s, to his struggles with addiction, and and his financial and domestic violence issues.

Aykroyd is set to play the president of Universal Attractions, which is the same agency that represented Jame Brown for over 40 years.

Viola Davis  will play Brown’s mother, Susie and Octavia Spencer will play his aunt, Anne Tunney.

Brian Grazer will be producing the film alongside Mick Jagger, for Universal Pictures.

Producers and directors have decided to shoot the film in Mississippi, including filming at the Mississippi Coliseum on the state fairgrounds, where Brown performed a concert in February 1969.

Production on the film begins sometime this fall, with the movie opening in theaters on Friday, October 17, 2014.
