Check out the trailer for the highly anticipated biopic on the life of Whitney Houston - "Whitney" - which premieres on Lifetime Channel tonight, January 17, at 8pm ET.
Yaya DaCosta stars as Whitney Houston, Arlen Escarpeta plays Bobby Brown and Mark Rolston is music exec Clive Davis. The project marks Angela Bassett's directorial debut.
Whitney's mother Cissy Houston has denounced the film and the producers had troubles securing the rights to Whitney's spectacular vocals. So Grammy nominated dance artist and Broadway actress Deborah Cox was brought in to re-record several of Houston's iconic songs.
