Marvin Gaye Movies
Posted by Sam on 20th October 2008 in Movies
Marvin Gaye is receiving double film treatment for the near future. Director F. Gary Gray is slated to direct with David Foster and Duncan McGillivray as producers. ‘Blood Diamond’s’ writer C. Gaby Mitchell is signed on to write the script. Unlike the film ‘Sexual Healing’ which will focus on the music icon’s decline post-Motown, Gray’s ‘Marvin’ will cover the entire span of the musician’s life, from his rise to the Prince of Soul, his defiance of the restrictive hit-making Motown system, his fall and comeback, and his tragic 1984 death at the hands of his father. It should be interesting how the two films will stack up against each other.
