<p>In the past, there have been a few attempts to make a film about the late Marvin Gaye. Many of those projects have not been released, but another well-known name in Hollywood is the next person to work on a film about the singer.</p>
<p>According to <em><a href="https://variety.com/2018/music/news/dr-dre-marvin-gaye-movie-1202849381/">Variety</a></em>, Dr. Dre is in the early stages of working on a film about Marvin Gaye. Sources revealed that he has reportedly secured the rights to the late singer&#8217;s music.</p>
<p>In the past, F. Gary Gray, Cameron Crowe, James Gandolfini, Scott Rudin, and actors Jesse L. Martin and Lenny Kravitz, have all tried to bring Marvin Gaye’s story to movie screens.</p>
<p>Dr. Dre’s project is the most recent to be authorized by Gaye’s family since Jamie Foxx landed the rights for a limited series back in 2016.</p>
<p>As many people may know, Dr. Dre’s film credits include the 2015 film “Straight Outta Compton,” which he served as producer, as well as the inspiration, alongside his N.W.A. group members.</p>
