Lifetime has released the first photo of actors Yaya DaCosta Alafia and Arlen Escarpeta as Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, respectively. The upcoming Lifetime Original Movie biopic is based on Houston and Brown’s rocky marriage.
“America’s Next Top Model” alumni Alafia transformed effortlessly into the superstar singer to recreate the iconic Whitney album cover, released last week. Now, with the debut photo of the famous duo, viewers can rest assured that the film is in good hands — Angela Bassett’s to be exact. Director Bassett shared photos from the set saying, “Life on the ‘other side’ is grand!”
Like the scrapped Aaliyah biopic, the family of the late singer has voiced opinions that Houston’s story deserves the big screen treatment. Houston and Brown’s daughter, Bobbi Kristina, has been the movie’s biggest opponent. She went as far as calling Bassett a bitch. But now she seems to be singing a different tune …
The wild child apologized for her public display of bad behavior on Twitter in response to the perceived shade from the Emmy-nominated actress about not casting her in the starring role. Maybe Bobbi Kristina realized that she hasn’t been taking her acting craft seriously and is spending too much time arguing with family over her marriage to Nick Gordon, who was like an adopted son to Houston.
I’m a young women that can admit her wrongs. 4who was offended I apologize BUT understand me before your quick to judge though. ThankU
