This film was 60% shot when the production unit lost it\u2019s principal funder. Exodus has recently engaged to finance and complete this film to bring this true life story to fruition. With a back wall of European landscape and principal shooting in Luxemburg, the film focuses on the later years of Marvin Gaye as he lived in Europe, putting his past drug abuse behind him and wrote his hit song Sexual Healing, along his promoter. The film portrays this deep look at the last years of Marvin Gaye\u2019s life, from his parting ways with Motown and self-imposed exile to Europe, to his relationship with Freddy Cousaert, the promoter who guided the singer through the recording of his biggest-selling album \u2013 Midnight Love.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTG-EeHuvwldMV29JruMm5j2kadn_O_UmMSZIfoGKZniHk_QbiA\" alt=\"Image result for marvin gaye\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\">The movie zeroes in on the early 1980s, when Gaye\u2019s life was unraveling, and in star Jesse Martin, it has a Gaye stand-in who both looks the part and can sing. \u00a0It also has an appealing supporting cast, which includes S.
