It’s official: a film about the life and career of beloved singer and actress Whitney Houston is finally in the works.
Anthony McCarten, who wrote the screenplay for 2018’s Bohemian Rhapsody, is currently writing the screenplay while Stella Meghie, who directed the recently released romance The Photograph, starring Issa Rae, is set to direct.
ADVERTISEMENT Although there is not yet talk about who the cast will feature and, most importantly, who will be portraying the late, great Houston, many are already sure that the movie is going to be a hit. McCarten, who is penning the screenplay, has a history of writing films that go on to be award-winning. That, combined with the directorial talents of Meghie and the fact that the film will be run-through of Houston’s discography, are sure to make this biopic great.
When Houston unexpectedly passed away in 2012 at the age of 48, the world turned upside down. She was an incredible force in the world of R&B, gospel, and pop music. She was one of the most renowned recording artists of all time, selling more than 200 million records worldwide with iconic anthems like “I Will Always Love You,”"I'm Every Woman," and, of course, “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.
