WOW nice!
The only downside is that an in house MOTOWN backed production might whitewash some things but I think Suzanne De Passe was involved in the Jackson's mini-series and that was pretty much spot on in a lot of areas.
Hm, we'll just have to see, either way i'll be at every one of these movies

Awesome. This could really be a good thing, taking what Motown know about Marvin And what they have control over leasing Is far more credible and exciting than any other source; not saying that the other directors will do any harm, but I Was kinda hoping that Motown would get involved. I think Suzanne De Passe will have a huge Huge hand in it, and I know she Can handle it well and give it alot of justice.
I think the World is ready for a Marvin Gaye overload; HELL bring em' all on, I just know that I'll be at every premier. Lol

Legends come together to celebrate 50th anniversary
When Motown people get together, there's just magic," said company founder Berry Gordy Jr., "because we all love each other, and we all know the work is the main thing.
"We can enjoy it more now, looking back, but we enjoyed it so much then, just doing it."
There will be plenty of joy and love this weekend as Gordy and the rest of the Motown family return to the Motown empire's birthplace of Detroit for two nights of parties celebrating the legendary record company's 50th anniversary to benefit the Motown Historical Museum. Tonight the troupe hits the Roostertail nightclub on the Detroit River — the scene of many a Motown performance and party during the 1960s and early '70s — for a private alumni reception. That's followed by a "Bop to the Ballroom" bash at which the artists meet and greet fans and possibly sing some of their hits.
On Saturday, the museum hosts a Motown 50 Golden Gala fundraiser, a $350-per-person black tie annual event. (The party was skipped in 2008 to prepare for this year's golden anniversary.) The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and Kid Rock are slated to perform for an expected crowd of 500 at the ballroom in the GM Renaissance Center's Marriott hotel. Comedian Sinbad hosts, with special honors given to early Motowners Smokey Robinson, Brian Holland, Robert Bateman, Janie Bradford and Raynoma Singleton.
The evening also includes memorial tributes to Michael Jackson, the Four Tops' Levi Stubbs and producer/songwriter Norman Whitfield, all of whom passed away since the 2007 gala.
Motown Historical Museum COO Audley Smith calls the weekend — dubbed "Live It Again!" — "the culminating event of a series of year-long events commemorating Motown's 50th anniversary." The celebration started last December with the release of the 10-CD box set "Motown: The Complete No. 1's."
Some artists — such as Robinson, Diana Ross and the Four Tops — can't attend due to out-of-town commitments, but Smith expects a thorough gathering of Motown figures.
Smith said the gala brings in 10 to 15 percent of the museum's annual operating budget.
Motown's 50th anniversary observation doesn't end with this weekend's parties, however. Gordy and former Motown staffer Suzanne DePasse, who won an Emmy Award for the Motown 25th anniversary TV special, are still in the midst of producing a film documentary, as well as a series of DVDs chronicling the company's history. A Broadway musical built around Motown songs also is on track for a 2010 debut, and director Cameron Crowe is working on a Marvin Gaye biopic.
The museum, meanwhile, plans to celebrate its 25th anniversary with two special exhibits for 2010 — one spotlighting Gaye in April, the other dedicated to Michael Jackson in July. The museum also is in discussions with the Smithsonian Institution and the Los Angeles-based Grammy Museum about creating a traveling Motown exhibit, and Smith said the shrine is still working toward an expansion around its current location in Motown's original Hitsville USA headquarters on Grand River.
Motown's "Live It Again!" 50th anniversary celebration begins with "Bop to the Ballroom" at 7 p.m. today at the Roostertail, 100 Marquette Drive, Detroit. Tickets are $50. The Motown 50 Golden Gala takes place at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Renaissance Ballroom in the GM Renaissance Center in downtown Detroit. Tickets begin at $350. A VIP reception and afterglow also are available. Tickets can be purchased by calling (313) 875-2264 or visiting www.motownmuseum

I too would like to see an expanded edition with the original cut that was put in the movie and the version that we all know and love. I think it'd be interesting to really compare and contrast the jazzier more heartfelt compositions with the blaxploitation styled grooves he used for the movie.
I really like the rawness of the movie version of "trouble man" (the song) but i'm glad Marvin went and redid it because it wouldn't have connected with the public as a single.
