A new, official trailer has dropped for the Whitney Houston biopic I Wanna Dance With Somebody which will land in cinemas through Sony Pictures on Boxing Day, 26th December.
The film stars Naomie Ackie in the lead as Houston with Stanley Tucci, Ashton Sanders, Tamara Tunie ,Nafessa Williams and Clarke Peters among the cast.
I Wanna Dance with Somebody is a powerful and triumphant celebration of the incomparable Whitney Houston. Directed by Kasi Lemmons, written by Academy Award® nominee Anthony McCarten, produced by legendary music executive Clive Davis and starring BAFTA Award® winner Naomi Ackie, the film is a no-holds-barred portrait of the complex and multifaceted woman behind The Voice. From New Jersey choir girl to one of the best-selling and most awarded recording artists of all time, audiences are taken on an inspirational, poignant—and so emotional—journey through Houston’s trailblazing life and career, with show-stopping performances and a soundtrack of the icon’s most beloved hits as you’ve never heard them before.
Big fan of Whitney personally, and a big fan of director Kasi Lemmons who absolutely knocked it out of the park a couple of years ago with her film, Harriet. Keen to see what she does with this.
