That’s a shame, she has the look and the charisma to pull off WhitneyKeke has already turned down the role before, said she would not do it. I always thought she looked like a young Whitney for sure.

And Nicole is probably too short and i guess older than what they were going for.
The thing with portraying performers (or charismatic public figures) is that their "x factor" has to be conveyed. This is often where these things fail. I think when people buy the actor as the real life person they're portraying, they don't even care about factual inaccuracies that much.If an actress is good enough you can almost excuse the fact that they don't have a resemblance to the person they are portraying. I have seen this done numerous times. But if they are playing Whitney. They better come with a statuesque body that can work the hell out of a gown, and have her mannerisms. They don't necessarily have to sing because they will be using her music, just lip sync good. There better be some vocal tones and inflection when she speaks, and not over acting like that thing they did on lifetime. I wanted to just slap her.
I’ve seen her act and she is a fantastic serious actress. This could be her What’s Got To Do With ItShe doesn’t look anything like Whitney at all lmao
Has anyone seen her act? I’ll be pissed as hell if they botch this movie. This role could legit be an Oscar-winning performance for the right actress
Only one missing is Tina Brown, My God!This sounds like a bad deja vu.
The other two documentaries were inaccurate, one-dimensional etc but wasn't the previous official movie supposed to allow us to understand Whitney better, show us her genius, who she was as a person ?
It was mainly Pat, Gary, Donna, Nicole David's version of who Whitney was, and 99% of the fan base as well as the general public were not here for that.
Now the very same people will share their version of who Whitney was again.
The psychiatrist ? I mean honestly, is it even legal ?
Wow, he showed the screenwriter a lot of live performances, how amazing, I mean there are like 10000 performances on YouTube alone.
This sounds like another exploitation rather than a celebration, just like the one before, and every other documentary for that matter.
The family wanted to fool people just a few years ago and it did not work out well for them, another deja vu is coming.
The so-called Primary Wave era started very well (Higher Love) but everything after that has been subpar, disrespectful, unnecessary and useless.
This sounds like a fairly standard statement for such projects."The goal of the biopic is to come up with a very realistic, very honest story," Davis says. "As well as capturing her losing battle with addiction, capturing her vocal genius and influence on music and contemporary musicians. Capturing not only pitfalls, but also the professional musical triumphs that she succeeded in accomplishing. To present the full story of Whitney Houston impeccably and (ensure) that it will be realistic in every respect."
Can you paste that in this thread, please? That link requires a subscription. Thank you
I don’t want her playing Whitney as a caricature of what she became. I’m still not sure how I feel about this....Naomi Ackie is very pretty. gorgeous face. So she will definitely be able to pull off Whitney.
But her being a great actress is what's most important.

I can kinda see it i hope she smashes it.
She is SO pretty. I think she is be amazing. I can see her in the Whitney hair, make up, and clothing.
No offense meant, but, with all due respect... um... I mean she's lovely. She seems nice. We get it. That's all there is to say about her at the moment. It's usually a good idea to kind of maybe let things lie for a bit and then bubble up on their own. Because I know I automatically start against someone when they are hyped TOO much. Again, no disrespect meant.

She should have played whitney!!! But we are stuck with that woman lol
PRESS PLAY!!!!
Genius was good as hell! I know Cynthia is hated on this board but she didn't look a thing like 'Retha but she played that role. Whitney needs a Genius instead of a biopic. She needs 8 or 10 hours to really tell her story. Clive produced Genius and it was amazing. I am ready to see what Jennifer got because Cynthia bodied that sh!t chile.After Genius Aretha the Respect movie and this Whitney movie better bring it because Genius shut it down.
Filming begins in a week.
Probably mainly unknown actors found at castings.
