F. GARY GRAY BEHIND 2ND GAYE BIOPIC: Film will rival James Gandolfini-produced film starring Jesse L. Martin.

*Two Marvin Gaye biopics are now on Hollywood's front burner. F. Gary Gray will direct "Marvin" for co-producer David Foster, while "Law & Order" veteran Jesse L. Martin toplines the previously-announced "Sexual Healing" for producer James Gandolfini.
"Marvin" will be written by "Blood Diamond" scribe C. Gaby Mitchell and focus on Gaye's entire life, from his emergence at Motown through his defiance of Motown head Berry Gordy to record "What's Goin' On" and on up to his death.
"This is my passion project, the one that I wake up every day thinking about," Gray told Daily Variety. "I'm going to tell a truthful story, and there is no shortage of drama and extreme conflict in a relationship with his father that at its core is Shakespearean and tragic.
"This isn't the average biopic of a rock star wrestling with drugs and women, but a man whose musical awakening became a call to action that questioned critical issues like a costly foreign war, recession, environment, inequality -- issues that are relevant now."
Foster and co-producer Duncan McGillivray will this week shop to studios and financiers a package that includes the complete music rights to Gaye's catalog. The plan is for the film's lead actor to lip synch Gaye's recordings.
"My mantra was, no music, no movie," said McGillivray, who secured the music rights. "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. His father was a cross-dressing, alcoholic Baptist minister who was let off the hook for shooting his son."
Meanwhile, the Jesse L. Martin-led "Sexual Healing" will focus on the singer's declining years, because the filmmakers have rights to use songs only from his post-Motown career. That film, reportedly scheduled to start last month in Europe, has not begun production.
