Sopranos star for Marvin Gaye film

'The Sopranos' star James Gandolfini has been cast opposite 'Law & Order' star Jesse L Martin in a new film about the last years of soul legend Marvin Gaye.
Variety reports that 'Sexual Healing' will chronicle Gaye's (Martin) self-imposed exile in Belgium and his return to the big time with the help of promoter Freddy Cousaert (Gandolfini).
The Lauren Goodman-directed film will be produced by Gandolfini's company, Attaboy Films, and the actor will work as producer on the project.
Filming of 'Sexual Healing' is due to begin on 15 April, with locations in Ostend, Massachusetts and Los Angeles.
