One word. Wow!
If you felt any type of way about Yaya DaCosta playing Whitney Houston in the upcoming lifetime biopic, then you definitely need to check out this new sneak peak.
Entertainment Tonight was on set for the Angela Bassett-directed film and judging by the looks of things, Yaya has Whitney down pat!!
In one quick scene, Yaya introduces Bobby Brown [played by actor Arlen Escarpeta] evoking the same high-energy spirit Whitney was known for.
As for the vocals, Yaya will be lip-synching to R&B songstress Deborah Cox.
Cox will cover Whitney’s classics including, “I Will Always Love You.”
Yaya revealed that she’s taken a break from social media during filming so that she can stay focused:
I kind of shut off all social media because I didn’t want to be distracted by the expectations and the naysayers.
The movie is set to premiere some time next year.
