F. Gary Gray next film may be a film about Marvin Gaye. But this particular film just may not see the day of life. James Gandolfini, a rival film maker is already in production with his own Marvin Gaye movie called "Sexual Healing". James has rights to use songs from Marvin post-Motown career.
Gray is taking a different approached to cover Marvin's life. He said he'll cover Marvin's life from the very start at Motown, to his problem with Berry Gordy all the way up to his untimely death.
"My mantra was, no music, no movie, but to me, the core story is a man who spent his whole life trying to justify and prove himself to a father who beat him down physically and later mentally,' said McGillivray. 'His father was a cross-dressing, alcoholic Baptist minister who was let off the hook for shooting his son."
Gray last film was the "Italian Job".
