Dr. Dre is Working on a Marvin Gaye Biopic

A highly anticipated biopic about the late Marvin Gaye’s life and career could be on its way to the big screen thanks to Dr. Dre, reports Variety.

The “Ain’t Nuthin’ But A G Thang” rapper co-produced 2015’s “Straight Outta Compton,” a film about his former group N.W.A., that went on to gross over $200 million at the box office. Now he’s reportedly in the early stages of developing a Marvin Gaye biopic.

Sources told Variety that the rights to use Gaye’s music in the film have already been secured.

Gaye's hit songs, such as “What’s Going On,” Got to Give It Up," “I Heard It Through the Grapevine," and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" with Tammi Terrell propelled the Washington, D.C. native into superstardom before his life was tragically cut short at the age of 44.


 Gaye’s father shot and killed him at their Los Angeles home on April 1, 1984, just one day short of the R&B singer’s 45^th birthday.

So far no release date or cast details have been released.
