Alright fans of the blues, get ready for a film telling the story of legendary musician B.B. King!
Amazing actor Wendell Pierce announced this week on social media that he has started preparation for “The Thrill is On,” the title of a new movie about B.B. King's life, which is a play of words from the title of one of B.B.’s biggest hits, "The Thrill is Gone."
Pierce is perfect choice for the role... he's an acclaimed movie and tv actor, probably most remembered for his roles on “The Wire” and Treme.” But the best part is that he looks a lot like B.B. and is excited to play him on film.
I just wonder how they’re going to recreate Lucille!
