Report : Willow Smith To Play Whitney Houston Wednesday, February 29th 2012 By TGJ/Kcool
Since her passing, numerous reports have done the rounds regarding a Whitney Houston biopic, the flick documenting her well publicized life. With Rihanna, Jennifer Hudson and Vivica Fox all rumored to be contenders for the role as adult Whitney, this week saw reports of who was to play Whitney as a child emerge. Reports which claim Willow Smith is to score the coveted role. Details below…
Contact Music explains: Rihanna and Jennifer Hudson are top on movie bosses’ list of names for the lead role, with Kill Bill actress Vivica Fox and American Idol singer Jordin Sparks also thought to be in with a chance. As the movie is likely to span several decades of the singer’s life, Will Smith’s daughter Willow Smith could be cast as Whitney during her childhood. To be honest, I think the movie would fare better without a ‘famous girl’. Because, as was the case with Selena, bio-pics are more effective when the leading roles are played by relatively unknown actors, allowing the story to be told without the hoo ha that comes when celebrities are asked to play their dead contemporaries. We posit- that instead of Jennifer, Rihanna or Vivica playing Whitney, the role should go to someone along the lines of Sharon Leal to play adult Houston and a fresh face to play her as a child. This way, her story can be just that – her story, as opposed to being an opportunity for industry big wigs to use the flick as a launching pad for their acts, one criticism ‘Lady Sings The Blues’ is belabored with to this day.
She would be perfect. She is beautiful slim & has Whitney's charisma. Plus she comes from a long line of famous talented Smith's...... will ALWAYS think of like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that wasn't of this earth, would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. | |

Clive announced that "The Bodyguard" movie was a no go. Not the Whitney biopic that the beautiful Willow is being considered for, which he has nothing to do with....... will ALWAYS think of like a "ACT OF GOD"!

Willow doesn't look like young Whitney.
And although Rihanna has tried, she doesn't look like adult Whitney either.
No one famous now could play the parts. And looking for unknowns will be difficult. Whitney had that rare type of near-perfection beauty. That will be very hard to match.
Plus, unless the plot is strictly about her career, this film will never happen anyway. At least not while Bobby Brown is still alive. "You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup...Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend." - Bruce Lee

Wouldn't it be something if the film does get made, Rhianna gets the lead role and is asked to actually sing all the songs herself??? "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley
