    Mon, 28 Jan 2008 13:59:06

    Filming set to begin later this year


    Beyoncé Knowles has joined the cast of Cadillac Records alongside Adrien Brody, Jeffrey Wright, and Cedric the Entertainer. Knowles will play Etta James in the '50s-era film, which features Brody in the role of Chess Records founder Leonard Chess. The Darjeeling Limited star took over from Matt Dillon when a scheduling conflict forced him to pull out of the project.

    According to AOL.com, Cadillac Records will be shot in New Jersey and Mississippi later this year.
