Terrence Howard In Talks To Play Cameron Crowe's Marvin Gaye

was this posted?

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.”

Before this gets locked. That boy doesn't looking anything... nothin' like Marvin, too short, too fair, wrong color eyes. Cameron betta do an open casting call. In fact, find someone else to direct/produce this movie, I don't like Cameron work. mad
