New Aaliyah Movie in the Works

Warner Brothers will be doing a film on the life of the late Aaliyah.
Bill Condon, director of “DreamGirls” will be directing the film.
“We are going to great extremities to make this movie perfect. We have Chante in extensive training studying, speaking with family members, watching personal footage and in choreography training with Aaliyah’s choreographer and dear friend Fatima Robinson. This movie will be seamless the same way it was for Selena fans who enjoyed Jennifer Lopez. I can promise Aaliyah fans that this movie will be ten notches higher.”
A source for the film reveals that they “will be going very deep into Aaliyah’s life” and will allow fans to see the “most intimate side of Aaliyah’s legacy.” Sources say the script for the film ‘holds no bars’ and will go as far as touching on the subject of Aaliyah’s highly debated and publicized marriage and annulment to producer R.Kelly.

I must admit that I am extremely interested in this piece. No, Aaliyah wasn’t the best singer in the world but I think that folks were so saddened by her tragic death that they’ll be down to see the movie. Jenn, Marlon, remember the night we found out? Jenn was working at Stuff Yer Face, and saw the news of her death on TV and called us at 221 (the house we shared that summer) to tell us. I didn’t believe her til we turned on the radio and they were playing a medley of her songs. It was shocking and upsetting because this could have been prevented. Take some of the bags off the plane! But no. Who knows what she could have accomplished had she been alive today.
