Now here is a film project with promise

Deadline Hollywood is reporting that filmmaker Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous, Say Anything) is hoping to land actor Terrence Howard for his long-gestating biopic on Marvin Gaye. Will Smith was approached to play the late singer, but he decided to pass on the subject (For the likes of a third Men In Black. Bravo, Will.). Howard hasn't agreed to star in the movie yet, but he also hasn't said no. Motown founder Berry Gordy Jr. is giving the project his support, and Scott Rudin is producing the movie for Sony Pictures.

Hmmm...one of my favorite filmmakers (I forgive him for Elizabethtown) teaming up with one of the better actors in Hollywood to make a biopic on one of the best singers of the 1960s? All I can ask is when's the press screening?
