Get On Up will be directed by rising star Tate Taylor who brought audiences 2011’s heart warming hit The Help which took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress and was nominated for Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress and will feature an amazing cast the includes Chadwick Boseman (42, Justified, Fringe), two-time Academy Award nominee Viola Davis (Traffic, Far From Heaven, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close), Oscar winner Octavia Spencer (Bad Santa, Spider-Man, Dinner for Schmucks) and comic legend, accomplished musician and Academy Award nominee Dan Aykroyd (The Blues Brothers, Driving Miss Daisy, Tommy Boy).
