jarrylf Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 They got they heart set on someone bi-racial lol, but ey she has the look more than the other girl Lifetime needs to give up tho, not even with the casting but because they can't use her music at all, know what kind of biopics don't use the artists whose story their telling's actual art...........shitty ones........... What's important about a biopic for a singer is it's supposed to represent the person's music as well as them so that future generations can, I mean can you seriously imagine Selena, Ray, Why Do Fools Fall In Love, Walk The Line, or ANY of the million biopics without the music? As long as this film hasnone of Aaliyah's music it's doomed to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laveaux Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Can we comment on the fact that Wendy Williams is now the executive producer. At least we now know that it will see the light of day and it will be juicy. Wendy will make sure of that. Not sure if I would be excited after being cast after the first choice dropped out. I know that happens a lot in Hollyweird, but I couldn't be the second option. Best of luck to this new gal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not hot topics boo As I said before.. Executive Producers oversee the work of the producer on behalf of the studio, the financiers or the distributors. They will ensure the film is completed on time, within budget, and to agreed artistic and technical standards.
