bu. Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) Dionne Warwick announced on Friday that LeToya Luckett will be acting in a new biopic based on her book My Life, As I See It: An Autobiography.Speaking at the Cannes Film Festival, Variety reports, the legendary singer said she will be played by original Destiny’s Child singer, LeToya Luckett. She also said Lady Gaga was set to play the late Cilla Black, who Warwick described as her musical “nemesis” in the film. But a representative for Lady Gaga said that’s not that case: “Lady Gaga is not attached to this project.”Other big names slated for roles in the biopic, titled Dionne, include Danny Glover as Warwick’s father and Olympia Dukakis as her mentor Marlene Dietrich. According to the Guardian, The biopic will span the early days of Warwick’s career, from 1962 to 1968, and will center on her rivalry with Black.http://time.com/4329098/lady-gaga-cilla-black-dionne-warwick/I for one would like to see this. I like the old acts that came from the 60s such as Dionne. They all seem to have interesting stories and Dionne is no exception. I just wonder if it's going to be a straight to TV or cinema release. I'm assuming TV. Edited May 13, 2016 by Dammn Bu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStormSC Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Well, good for Dionne. She needs a lil change in her pocket. If it's done well enough, maybe some more people will rediscover her. This is a real movie, right? As in: in theaters and not lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
