DaCosta will play Houston as she deals with her volatile yet passionate relationship with Bobby Brown and her early success in the music industry. Hmm I wonder who they have playing Bobby?

Angela Bassett will make her directorial debut with the film, which is simply titled “Whitney Houston” Once the the film was announced Bassett, who starred in 1995’s “Waiting To Exhale” with Houston, had this to say,
“I have such regard for both Whitney’s and Bobby’s amazing talents and accomplishments; and I feel a responsibility in the telling of their story. Their humanity and bond fascinates us all. I’m beyond excited to have this opportunity to go behind the camera and into their world.”
