Dr. Dre is to honour the life of the entertainer Marvin Gaye with a movie set to lift the lid on his life, love and the day he was killed by his envious and abusive father.

Dre has bagged the rights to use the singer’s music to build a biopic set to spill the beans on the singer’s remarkable life with the full approval of his family.

Interesting, as Dre is represented by the same legal firm Robin Thicke and Pharell Williams employed to fight the Gaye family during their recent legal battle over stolen music .

As for a due date? It’s still early days for the project so that’s yet to be locked in.

Keep it locked on TGJ for updates.
