You’ll probably have heard that the men behind 40 Year-Old Virgin and Orange County (Judd Apatow and Jake Kasdan) are teaming up to bring you Walk Hard. Well, Talladega Nights star John C Reilly has finally scribbled to star in the musician biopic parody that chronicles the tale of Dewey Cox.
Reilly will arrive on set for a mid-January shoot, ready to poke fun at Walk The Line, Ray and Beyond The Sea.
On the other side of the coin, Traffic star Don Cheadle has signed on the line to direct and star in a biopic of jazz legend Miles Davis.

So… title guesses… Davis, by any chance?
