Instead of a traditional biopic, this will thread Marvin Gaye’s past with the events that shaped his final tour to result in a “musical odyssey” and “theatrical experience”. The story will chronicle his relationship with his father (who fatally shot him in 1984 at age 44), address the demons that haunted him and celebrate the women who inspired his iconic love songs like “Sexual Healing,” “Let’s Get It On” and “What’s Going On”
