Terrence Howard is in talks to portray tragic soul legend Marvin Gaye in moviemaker Cameron Crowe’s biopic after Will Smith rejected the role.

The I Am Legend star pulled out of negotiations in April (10) after months of discussions with Crowe, and the filmmaker was forced to start his search for a leading man all over again.

Crash actor Howard has now put himself forward to take on the project – but admits he’s hesitant about taking on such an iconic role.

He tells Deadline.com, “Nothing’s been signed on paper yet. Everybody who loves music will hate me if I get this one wrong.”

Crowe has been trying to get the project off the ground for four years.

Production on Jennifer Hudson and Terrence Howard’s new film about the ex-wife of South African leader Nelson Mandela will go ahead as planned – despite the threat of legal action from Winnie Mandela herself.

The two stars are set to play man and wife in filmmaker Darrell J. Roodt’s new movie, Winnie, with shooting set to commence on 31 May (10) in South Africa.

However, the start date was thrown into doubt when Winnie Mandela’s lawyers threatened movie bosses with a lawsuit if they didn’t consult her over the storyline.

The film’s producer Andre Pieterse reveals a legal letter stated she “would like to see the script and approve”.

But Pieterse and Roodt decided the film would be a “well researched” screenplay “without any influence from any of the main characters”.

He adds, “A lawyer’s letter came some weeks ago. It was a benign letter and yet it contained the threat of an indictment, an interdict that could stop the picture.

“If the film maligns her in any way then there will be a legal basis for her to take action.”

Terrence Howard is to become the latest actor to portray Nelson Mandela onscreen after landing the role in Jennifer Hudson’s upcoming film about the ex-wife of the South African leader.

The two stars will play man and wife in filmmaker Darrell J. Roodt’s new movie, Winnie, which documents Winnie Mandela’s life.

Hudson’s appointment previously caused uproar among the members of the Creative Workers Union of South Africa, who insisted local actors should have been cast as the lead characters in a movie so important to the country’s history.

Principal photography on Winnie is scheduled to begin on 31 May (10) in South Africa, reports Variety.

Morgan Freeman played Mandela in Clint Eastwood’s rugby film Invictus and Danny Glover played the politician in TV movie Mandela.
