In what would have been a major career move for Will Smith he said "nay" to Gaye.
The Hollywood superstar has turned the role of legendary Motown R&B legend Marvin Gaye who was tragically murdered by his own father at the height of his fame.
Smith was to have toplined for director music maven Cameron Crowe who brought his own personal reminisces of Rolling Stone past to the screen in Almost Famous.
Now maybe Crowe can get on with his purported Phil Spector biopic that would’ve starred Tom Cruise as the bewigged out wonder who went from being pop music’s first teen tycoon to creepy convicted middle-aged murderer.
