BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Adam Sandler Beats Justin Bieber At The Box Office

Final numbers show Sony’s Adam Sandler - Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy Just Go With It winning the weekend box office crown after maintaining a narrow lead over Paramount’s Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. Just Go With It looks to have grossed $30.5 million, while Never Say Never took in roughly $29.5 million. Sunday’s estimates had Just Go With It and Never Say Never separated by only $700,000, or $31 million vs. $30.3 million, respectively. Either way, Never Say Never—fueled by young girls--far outpaced expectations in its debut, one of the top ever for a documentary. Including revenue from advance screenings on Feb. 9, film’s cume is north of $30 million. Never Say Never, directed by Jon M. Chu, is more of a biopic than a concert film. Females made up 84 percent of the audience, while 67% of the audience was under the age of 25. Paramount said moms reacted well to the film, which drew an A- CinemaScore. The big question now is what kind of legs Never Say Never wil

Marvin Gaye Film Closer To Reality

Director Julien Temple is set to make a biopic, tentatively titled Midnight Love/Sexual Healing , about legendary soul singer Marvin Gaye . The film is due to begin shooting in Ostend, Belgium later this year. EMI, which holds the rights to Gaye’s music, is understood to be ready to give the greenlight to the project. The story will focus on the Midnight Love album (including the song Sexual Healing) that Gaye recorded in Brussels in the early ’80s. At the time, Gaye - who was living in Ostend - was considered a spent force - a drug addict who had lost the confidence of the record companies. Against the odds, Gaye recorded what many believe to have been his greatest album. Here in Berlin, Jean-Luc Van Damme, producer and managing director of Banana Films (the outfit behind Goodbye Bafana), revealed details of the $8 million Sexual Healing. Jimmy De Brabant of Delux Productions in Luxembourg is also on board. Frederick Bestall for Auric Entertainment Pty. Ltd. is producing. Th
