In a recent interview, Clive Davis (who is the CEO of Sony Music) said that he was “very disappointed” in the two recent documentaries that came out about Whitney Houston.

“Whitney” came out in 2018, while “Whitney: Can I Be Me” was released in 2017.

Pat Houston, Whitney Houston’s sister-in-law and manager will also be a producer, who will act on behalf of the estate. Pat Houston says,

“The Estate of Whitney Houston is more than elated to be involved with a group of people that are as passionate about Whitney’s life story as we are. Whitney’s legacy deserves only the best that can be given. I stand with the hearts of these partners being the chosen ones to produce a film that’s uplifting and inspiring to all that loved her, giving you a reason to continue to celebrate The Voice that we all fell in love with and will cherish forever!”
