Sony Pictures has released a statement regarding the August 17th release of Whitney Houston’s last film, “Sparkle.” Spokesman Steve Elzer said,
Like all those who knew and loved her, we are shocked and saddened and the world has lost an incomparable talent. Right now our thoughts are with her daughter, her family and her friends.”
Houston had finished filming on the project which is a remake of the 1976 movie “Sparkle,” about a trio of singers. “American Idol” season six winner, Jordin Sparks, plays the lead role in the movie about three sisters who begin singing in a church choir and become extremely successful, but then have to deal with numerous personal problems that come about with the newfound fame.
Howard Rosenman, an executive director from the film, had just seen a rough cut of the film Friday night and said he still cannot fathom that Houston is gone.
“This would have been a big, big comeback, she is so brilliant in it. I was just raving about her performance, she was so great in it. I’m just in shock.”
Billboard reported Saturday that Houston’s final recordings will be featured in the film. She sings the gospel classic “Eyes on the Sparrow” and duets with Sparks on a new R. Kelly song, “Celebrate,” over the end credits.
