R&B diva Whitney Houston and her on-screen daughter, Jordin Sparks, sat down with Entertainment Tonight last night to discuss their forthcoming movie ‘Sparkle‘ – a remake of the 1976 musical.
The film marks Houston’s return to the ‘big screen’ – given that it’s her first starring role in over a decade. Sparks, however, will make her movie debut after taking on a role that was originally to be played by the late Aaliyah, before her tragic and untimely death in 2001.
Thus, both singers have a lot to prove to critics and fans alike, and with Houston also acting as the films executive producer, she’ll be needing the film to be a success more than anyone.
