One of the newest movies hitting theaters this weekend takes place in the world of classical music in the 1700s, but actor Kelvin Harrison Jr. believes his film still has a contemporary feel.
"Chevalier" is based on the true story of composer Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges.
"He was like the Michael Jackson of the moment," said Harrison Jr. "It was fun chronicling that from the 1700s and finding out how contemporary that was for us now in some ways." "He was unapologetic 100% of the time," he said. "I pulled from Prince a lot because I think Prince was never trying to diminish who he was in his artistry."
