Angela Bassett Directs New Whitney Houston Movie

I have such regard for both Whitney’s and Bobby’s amazing talents and accomplishments, and I feel a responsibility in the telling of their story. Their humanity and bond fascinates us all. I’m beyond excited to have this opportunity to go behind the camera and into their world.

Angela, who starred alongside Whitney in ‘Waiting to Exhale‘ also shared her excitement on Twitter writing:

Hey Everybody, u good? Deep in #Whitney pre-prod.w/ @lifetimetv! Striving above all else to tell their story w/LOVE!

The film is slated for release in 2015. [Twitter, The Hollywood Reporter]
