jennifer hudson without a doubt. oscar award winning actress, great singer, the full package really. it would be bad taste to do the movie any time soon though.

she wouldn't do it. she ruled herself out of the possible `bodyguard` remake on the grounds she doesn't want to play a singer.

Not to sure, but IMO Jennifer Hudson is the whole package for the role.

i didn't read the article you posted, i read a similar story earlier. so i do apologise for posting that article, when all the information was in the opening post. however, surely there would be a big question mark over whether or not she can act.

I dont think they should make one as she isnt here to say how she would like her story to be told, like when they did the tina turner biopic, tina was around to say how it was, but if they do they should choose an actress not a singer
Halle berry
Nia Long
Vivica A. Fox
Paula Patton
Tatyana Ali

I really can't see Jennifer Hudson as Whitney. I'll be watching and thinking "Erm, am I really supposed to believe this is a Whitney biopic?!"

To be fair, Rihanna wouldn't have to sing. Previous Biopics have used the actual recordings of the artist the film is about

One of the few biopics that had an actor actually sing was Diana Ross for the Billie Holiday biopic.

I think she would be a better choice for an Aretha Franklin biopic

She is already set to play Mahalia Jackson this year.

Whoever it is needs to be tall, skinny, and a bit flat chested.

The curvy and big boobed Hudson won't do. I don't care if she has the chops.

Curvy?

I don't know if you have seen Hudson lately but she has lost a lot of weight. She even released a book about it.

She still has large boobs and a behind. I mean curvy as in actual curves, not fat

Whitney was a rake in her heyday, and a flat chested one at that.
