See? Problem solved.

The film, directed by "The Help's" Tate Taylor, stars Chadwick Boseman as the legendary Godfather of Soul. The 2014 release covers the musician's life from his impoverished childhood to his incredible (and influential) success as an adult.

In addition to Boseman, who portrayed another boundary-breaking figure, Jackie Robinson, in last spring's "42," "Get On Up" will star some familiar faces from director Taylor's prior film.

Viola Davis has been cast in the project as Brown's mother, Susie, and Octavia Spencer plays his aunt, Honey.

Produced by Brian Grazer and Mick Jagger, among others, "Get On Up" arrives in theaters August 1.
