Timmy84	Whitney is really starting to look like Dionne even in that first photo when she's in her gear. It's almost striking.

I have no interest in this movie, simply because a remake is pointless. The original is a hell of a movie and it makes absolutely no sense to me, for them to go back and remake it.

And I can already tell it's a turd from that pic of them in the dresses - she's supposed to be playing "Sista"? Oh, no way. No way.

I agree,this is a pointless remake.Hollywood is so lazy these days.

I know right?! It's like, where have all the creative people gone? Have they all died off, or is Hollywood just scared to greenlight something more original? confused

Whitney looks amazing! Don't understand why anyone would think rappers would be on this soundtrack. It's set in 1968, don't think rapper was popular back then. Expect a classic throwback cd. Whitney has always produced good soundtracks. Don't expect any different.

Carmen Ejogo is killing in that pose.

Isn't Carmen in that Eddie Murphy movie that bombed, she had a british accent in it.....Metro? and is she the same girl from Lackawanna Blues, where she played the little boy's birth mother? If so, she's a cutie. I've always wanted to see more of her. biggrin

This era of Hollywood only cares about making quick money not about creating meaningful things. This is 2011 not 1958 get the fuck over it.... I did biggrin

Its MINDBLOWING that they INSIST on putting these no acting SINGERS in roles that REQUIRE ACTING talent... smh...

Timmy84	I'm just hoping for Whitney's and the other actors' sake ("actor" in the case of Jordin since, well, she ain't lol) that the film is a success and not as badly done like Dreamgirls '06... I still got a bad taste in my mouth from thinking about that movie. (Eddie was the only saving grace)

I dont' pay no mind to the critics, whitney films always do well and this won't be an exception. She seems very serious bout this movie so when it's time I expect her to be on her promo grind.

This will make money, budget small, this will make budge back openning week and then the haters can sit and stew on that then think of some other false story to make up bout her.

agreed and i think she gonna be in that Exhale 2 movie as well. i hope she executive produce the soundtrack because acting and doing the soundtrack will keep her busy and focused for some time.

I hear Savannah in the new getting to happy book has the meatiest parts. should be good.

I think she has a solid career as an actress /producer out of all the divas. She should focus on that.

	Sony Moves GREAT HOPE SPRINGS from December to August 10; SPARKLE Pushed Back a Week to August 17 by Brendan Bettinger Posted:February 1st, 2012 at 8:09 pm Sony has decided to move *Great Hope Springs* more than four months away from its initial December 14 release date. The typical pattern is to push the release later on the calendar, but the dramedy led by Meryl Streep, Tommy Lee Jones, Steve Carell, and Jean Smart will instead premiere much sooner on August 10. The last collaboration between Streep and director David Frankel, *The Devil Wears Prada, hit theaters in the summer of 2006 and ended up with over $124 million domestic. Perhaps Sony is chasing that success, though the story is very different in tone: Great Hopes Springs* follows a married couple (Streep and Jones) who undergo a weekend of intense marriage counseling. To make room on August 10, Variety reports the studio pushed *Sparkle* back a week to August 17. Jordin Sparks, Tika Sumpter, Carmen Ejogo, and Whitney Houston star in the remake of the 1976 musical about a Motown girl group inspired by The Supremes. Hit the jump for synopses for both movies. Great Hope Springs synopsis: Many years of marriage have left Maeve (Streep) wanting to spice things up and reconnect with her husband. When she hears of a famed relationship guru (Carell) in the town of Great Hope Springs, she must persuade her skeptical husband (Jones) to get on a plane for an intense week of marriage and sex therapy. Getting there was hard enough…now shedding their bedroom hang ups, learning some new moves and rediscovering their youthful spark is when the real adventure begins. - Sparkle synopsis: Like the original film, this version of Sparkle will follow the three Williams sisters (Ejogo, Sumpter, Sparks), singers at their local church choir who eventually go on to become a successful girl group. Their sudden rise unravels their personal lives, and the youngest sister, a music prodigy named Sparkle, struggles to become a star while overcoming the issues that are tearing her family apart.

She looks just like John Houston nod I'm not checking for her vocals anymore.... I just want to see her grace that big screen and showcase her other talents. She's never been a one trick pony and people need to realize it while she's alive. Pay the woman her respect. cool

Prince = WIND
