Looking forward to the result! Marvin's original B2B photo has more contrast in light, which gives the look a unique feel.

Well, other than Phil Morris Jesse favors Martin more than any other Actor/Singer out there right now...Jesse FIRST talked about doing that movie back in 2008..So I think it's been in the Can a long time..I'm glad they're finally releasing it...

***************************************************

Jennifer Hudson's "Winnie Mandela" is due out Christmas I think...Then there's The TALK of the town "The butler" with Oprah & Forrest Whitaker also coming in the Fall...Black FOLKS GOING to the Oscars Next year!!!!!!!!!..LOL...Finally a year with some Meaty Black Flims...

That's why I compare it to what's going on with Marvin's film. This may destroy Jesse's career (I don't know about Marvin's legacy being tarnished but some parts would be overdramatized for Hollywood purposes probably lol).

Timmy you need to quit...LOL..You do realize Jesse is a Brotha that has ROOTS on the Broadway stage...No matter what Film he does Actors SURVIVE by Networking. Whatever happens when the Film is released SOME folks will be seeing Jesse for the FIRST time and he's been in the Game a Long ass time...

You can be in "the game" for a long time and still make blunders. Ask Eddie Murphy. Or your boy Flex.

..LOL...Very True...That's a part of the Game though...Eddie's last decade of Films have been FLOPS but he's still getting $20-Million a Pop.....Damn Good Agent and the Agent relies on The Murphy Brand to sell itself....

Great. Now I need something stronger than soap to wash my eyes of the burn of seeing that picture. @ y'all both. We all need it.

Group hug!!!

My personal favorite part of that movie was when Flex suddenly started looking kind of greenish. I was all like, "Wait, did I miss MJ's green phase?" You might be able to see it in the posted picture, but I refuse to look at it long enough to make that determination.

Oh, and the Dangerous tour part was also hilarious since they couldn't use his music, so it was just some generic-ass music while Flex mimed performing. Any given high school musical I have ever seen is better than that mess. The Marvin biopic will probably suck, but I feel like there must be some law of nature that prevents anything from sucking more than Man in the Mirror.

By this picture alone, I can totally buy into Jesse playing Marvin Gaye. Excellent job capturing the essence of the "What's Going On" album cover, as well.
