Oscar winning actor Forest Whitaker is set to play jazz legend Louis Armstrong, in a new biopic from the company behind last year's La Vie en Rose.
'What A Wonderful World' will trace Armstrong's formative years in New Orleans through to his career as a trumpet virtuoso and improvisational singer.
This will be the first film about the singer's life to be approved by the Armstring estate and will begin shooting in Louisiana next summer.
