The author of Bohemian Rhapsody has a brand new musical biopic: I Wanna Dance With Anyone, in regards to the lifetime of the late, nice Whitney Houston. The movie is directed by Kasi Lemmons and stars Naomi Ackie from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker as the enduring pop star — though Houston’s singing voice within the trailer is unmistakably her personal.
The movie, which was co-produced by Houston’s longtime document producer Clive Davis, chronicles her rise to stardom and fame. (Davis is performed within the movie by Stanley Tucci.) And, sure, Houston’s husband and R&B and hip hop star Bobby Brown is a personality within the movie as effectively. He’s performed by Moonlight’s Ashton Sanders.
You’ll be able to watch the primary trailer for the movie under, which makes it seem like a reasonably normal musical biopic with one ace within the gap: Houston’s unimaginable voice and music. Have a look:
Right here is the movie’s official synopsis:
