“It was a joy to work on this film,” said director Dawn Porter in a statement to PEOPLE. "Luther was a spectacularly talented performer, composer, and producer. His influence was found in multiple genres, and it was a delight to discover each one. It has been so much fun to see longtime fans remember why they love him, and new fans come to understand his brilliance."
Giant Pictures General Manager Nick Savva added, "[We] fell in love with Luther: Never Too Much following its stellar film festival run this year. The film is a huge crowd-pleaser and a must-see, not only for existing fans of Luther Vandross, but also for those discovering his incredible talents for the first time." Never Too Much first premiered at Sundance back in January before being screened at the Tribeca Film Festival in June.
Since the '80s, Vandross blessed the world with timeless hit songs like "Here and Now," "Any Love," and "A House Is Not a Home," and worked with countless others throughout his decadeslong career. The NYC icon passed away in 2005 after suffering a stroke.
