AS HER LEGENDARY LIFE IS BROUGHT TO THE BIG SCREEN WHITNEY HOUSTON WHO IS IN THE RUNNING TO PLAY THE MEGASTAR AS WE LOOK BACK AT OTHER HOLLYWOOD TRANSFORMATIONS
‘The film is uplifting and inspiring to all that loved her’
Stepping into the shoes of Whitney Houston for a biopic chronicling her extraordinary life and music has to be one of the film world’s most sought-after roles. I Wanna Dance With Somebody has been snapped up by Sony’s TriStar Pictures and HELLO! can reveal that singer and actress Keke Palmer is being tipped as the pitch-perfect leading lady.
Keke’s odds are put at 7/4 by premium bookmaker Fitzdares, whose film expert Clive Harris tells us that Empire star Taraji P Henson, at 12/1, and US singer-songwriter Brandy Norwood, at 20/1, are also in the frame.
Having released her first album aged just 14 with Atlanticalongside Jennifer Lopez, is a strong candidate thanks to her powerful vocals and acting experience.
