Pop legend Whitney Houston‘s mother Cissy is releasing a memoir about her daughter. Before it even hits shelves, movie producers are searching for the right actors to play the people around her in a biopic. When it comes to casting who will embody the role of Bobby Brown, Idris Elba is first on the list.

Producers are hoping to get Idris Elba to play Bobby Brown in the upcoming biopic of Whitney Houston’s life because of his acting ability. While producers decide whether they want Elba or Anthony Mackie, who played Tupac in ‘Notorious’, to play Bobby Brown, producers are looking at Jennifer Hudson and Halle Berry to battle it out for the role of Whitney Houston.

He is a good actor & may pull it off. But I think Darius Mccreary or Chris Robinson .... would be better...

First thing that popped into my head. Idris on his worst day is still too fine for that

Idris, fine as he is, is too old to be playing anything but the present Bobby Brown.

Who's goign to play Brown in his heyday when he met Houston?

They better get someone young who can dance, and sing and has a bad boy attitude.

What about this guy:

I really don't trust Cissy to be behind this memoir. You just know she fuckin hates Bobbay.

Marcus would be perfect as the young Bobby.....He has the Bobby swagg..

Seriously wtf

I must be the only woman in this world that does not fall for Idris Elba charm. A fine man indeed but he does nothing for me Who thought him and Bobby look alike?

He does nothing for me either-really don't see it

He'll need to be beaten with a hammer before he'll get the role

Bobby used to have sex appeal and cockiness. That trumps all.

Cuteness is for babies.

Guns are you a chick?? No offense, all this time I thought you might have been a dude. Please set me straight lol

By the way, I too have a gap in my teeth. In America I know it's considered ugly but in other parts of the world it's symbol of beauty.

Diastemas are not considered ugly in the US. Ugly diastemas are considered ugly in the US, like Bobby Brown's, lol.

I've seen some American models with nice gaps (like Lara Stone), and theirs are deemed beautiful.
