Whitney Houston shines in “Sparkle”


by Dimitris Ioannou

Whitney Houston returns for the last time to the big screen with the movie “Sparkle” and a brief preview was shown on Wednesday night at the ComicCon conference in Las Vegas, featuring the late singer dancing in a living room in celebration.

Houston who was found drowned in her bathtub on the eve of the 2012 Grammy Awards back on February, starred in the movie which supposed to be her big comeback to show business and also served as executive producer. The filming in Detroit finished before she died at the age of 48.

The film is a remake of the 1976 movie with the same titlee and Houston has been trying for 12 yeas to get “Sparkle” on the big screen. The singer plays a mother of three girls who form a singing group and struggle with fame and drug addiction.

The superstar was very enthusiastic with this project. Alongside Houston, we find Cee Lo Green, Mike Epps and Jodi Sparks in her first notable role after she won on American Idol.

She made her Hollywood debut 20 years ago in the blockbuster “The Bodyguard”, also starring Kevin Costner. The movie is scheduled for release this August. The first trailer came out about three weeks ago. Take a look below...
