One of the producing organizations for the movie is Foxx’s Foxhole Productions, which is listed alongside Raindog Films in collaboration with Trilogy Films.
Dawn Porter will direct the picture, which Jamie Foxx will produce through his entertainment firm Foxxhole Productions and Colin Firth’s Raindog Films.
Sony Music Publishing and the Premium Content Division of Sony Music Entertainment (SME) will also be engaged.
Foxx declared at the time, “Luther Vandross is one of our G.O.A.T.s. He is among the best vocalists in music history. Being a member of the team that helps tell this amazing narrative to the public is a true honor.”
“Like so many others, I have always loved Luther’s music, but I had no idea of the breadth and scope of his artistry.”
“I believe that the amount of work he managed to achieve in his terribly brief life will astonish many. Being able to tell his real tale is a pleasure,” Porter reportedly noted.
