The Hollywood Reporter first broke the news of the project.

It will mark the first documentary on the eight-time Grammy winner, who has sold over has sold 40 million albums worldwide. Dawn Porter, who is known for helming acclaimed docs such as John Lewis: Good Trouble and The Way I See It will direct.

“Like so many, I have always loved Luther’s music, but I had no idea of the breadth and scope of his artistry. I think people will be surprised at how much he accomplished in his tragically short life. It is a joy to be able to share his true story,” said Porter in a statement.

The documentary will include never-before-seen personal archives from Vandross’ life and “will follow the iconic artist as he charted his own course becoming one of the most decorated and influential pop artists of all time.”

Foxx is certainly no stranger to projects on Black music legends. The multi-hyphenate took home the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2004 for his portrayal of Ray Charles in the biopic Ray.

“Luther is one of our GOATs,” Foxx said in a statement. “He’s one of the greatest singers in the history of music. It is truly an honor to be a part of the team to help bring this incredible story to the masses.”

The documentary will be produced by Sony Music Entertainment’s (SME) Premium Content Division, Sony Music Publishing, Foxx’s Foxxhole Productions and Firth’s Raindog Films.

Vandross passed away in 2005 at the age of 54 due to a heart attack.
