Lenny Kravitz to get it on as soul legend Marvin Gaye
.
We heard it through the grapevine. The Londoner learns that Lenny Kravitz is to play Marvin Gaye in a film about the last years of the Motown singer’s life.
The film is being made by Julien Temple, whose documentary London: The Modern Babylon was a cornerstone of this summer’s Cultural Olympiad and who is best known for directing Absolute Beginners and for his films on the Sex Pistols.
It would chart the final years of Gaye’s life in London from 1981, when he was suffering from an addiction to alcohol and an allergy to the taxman, and how he was rescued by music promoter Freddy Cousaert and spirited away to his flat in Ostend, Belgium, to recover.

Sadly, Bruce did not get to do this movie, but he left us with some photos of the movie he was planning. Although Bruce is not here with us, the movie could still be made.

If Bruce had lived to do the movie, it would have been our first time seeing him with long hair and a different style.
