Don Cheadle's Kill The Trumpet Player, the actor's take on the "silent period" of jazz trumpeter Miles Davis, will co-star Ewan McGregor and Star Trek actor Zoe Saldana.

The film is co-written by Cheadle and will be his first as director. McGregor will play a Rolling Stone journalist and Saldana will play Davis's ex-wife, Frances.

Kill the Trumpet Player will focus on "a few dangerous days in the life of Miles Davis, as he bursts out of his silent period and conspires with a Rolling Stone writer (McGregor) to steal back his music", according to The Hollywood Reporter. This presumably refers to the period after the 1975 Newport Jazz Festival, when Davis – a heroin addict during the early 50s – retired from the public eye and spiralled back into drug addiction, before making a hesitant return to recording and performing.

Cheadle, who has been planning the film for a number of years and once referred to it as a "gangster story", rejected the idea that it could be called a traditional biopic at last week's American Film Market conference.
