"James Gandolfini has come aboard to star in and produce "Sexual Healing," a biopic about singer Marvin Gaye," according to the Hollywood Reporter. "Jesse L. Martin already is set to play Gaye in the film, which will be directed by Lauren Goodman."

"The film focuses on the last years of Gaye's life. Gandolfini will play Gaye's manager, Freddy Cousaert, the promoter who guided the singer through the recording of his biggest-selling album, "Midnight Love." Goodman wrote the script loosely based on Steven Turner's book "Trouble Man."
