It could have been a star making role for him. Last I heard, he was the primary choice,,,I don't know what happend to the casting.

Jesse was gonna do another Marvin movie but that movie has had problems with music rights and from what I heard, it's still in pre-production. I don't think that one's ever coming out.

She's got no grounds though. The movie is based on a book. Besides, that shaddy ish is getting her karma. lol

Hmmm,,

They're developing a character BASED ON HER, they wouldn't even let her see the script. I say she does have grounds, karma or none.

She has no legal grounds. Sorry, that's just the way it is. She would have had to go after the book prior...Now, since the film is based on the book and not her life, she's got no legal grounds. lol

Why would they let Winnie see the script? They don't owe that to her-unless they bought her life rights.

my only problem with Terrence playing Marvin is that he looks nothing like him, but then again Lawrence and Angela looked nothing like Ike and Tina and they tore that shit up!

She's a public figure whose role and actions have been well documented by journalists and historians alike. I think her legal team would only be able to attempt a defamation suit, but I think they'd have to wait until after the release to pursue it.

But, I have no law degree... lol

None.

jeami	Terrence does have a point. Jamie's music is crappy and I can't believe people actually buy that mess. ITA with the people that think the actor should have talent AND resemble the character he/she is trying to portray.

Definitely him. Or, heck, even Damon Wayans:

Terrence Howard should be ashamed for even considering HIMSELF for this role. He should have been like: "Somebody wants ME to play Marvin Gaye?? Hmm...No, can't do that. It's clear I'm not qualified for the part. Sorry." disbelief

Yeah! That's what I'm thinking. What hell happened to Jesse playing Marvin? I was looking forward to that.

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

that's the 64,000 dollar question, ain't it. lol

What with the mess? Just pick any famous black person to play a part. I'm so damn tired of these Black real life / bio films. :

Remember that film with James Gandolfini? It's safe to say that film is not coming out anytime soon, maybe not at all. lol

EXCLUSIVE: The actor tells me he has been talking to Cameron Crowe about starring as soul singer Marvin Gaye. Crowe has been working for 3½ years on the Sony biopic. The director has gone back to the drawing board after Will Smith turned down the role. Mowtown founder Berry Gordy Jr. is supporting the project, which has secured rights to Gaye's music. Scott Rudin is attached as producer. Howard, of course, is a singer himself. Marvin Gaye was one of the influences on his debut album Shine Through It. “Nothing’s been signed on paper yet,” Howard tells me. “Everybody who loves music will hate me if I get this one wrong.”

http://www.deadline.com/2...rvin-gaye/

With the revelation of this statement alone, you know this version of Marvin's bio will in fact be FABRICATED. I wouldn't be surprised if he had his right hand bitch, Smokey Robinson making a cameo in the movie rolleyes
