Marvin Gaye's son rips upcoming movie about his father, calls it 'pure trash'

Music legend Marvin Gaye's son has ripped to shreds the biopic about his father. Calling it 'pure trash', he is ready to go to court to stop the release of the movie.

Speaking to TMZ, Marvin Gaye III described the movie, 'Sexual Healing' as untrue, exploitative, with a ton of holes and worst of all, doesn't "hold the vibe of my father."


He says no one in his family is backing the movie which film music mogul Vassal Benford is producing.

He adds the family's attorney has already been contacted and they're confident the movie won't see the light of day.

As for Benford, he tells TMZ it's full steam ahead, and several superstars will be involved in recording the soundtrack.
