Aaliyah Headed To The Big Screen

Aaliyah Biopic Heads to the Big Screen

Gone but clearly not forgotten, Aaliyah will reemerge on the big screen via an upcoming biopic. Media sources report that Canadian R&B/pop singer Keshia Chante will play the songbird in the film, which will be helmed by director Bill Condon.

Others appearing in thefeature include Aaliyah’s choreographer Fatima Robinson, Missy Elliott, Timbaland and Ginuwine. Famed music video director Hype Williams has also been tapped for the project to recreate Aaliyah's final video shoot for the hit song "Rock the Boat."

To insure that his work lives up to fans’ expectations, Condon is making sure his cast do their homework to become as familiar with Aaliyah and those in her life as humanly possible.

“We are going to great extremities to make this movie perfect. We have [Keisha] Chante in extensive training studying, speaking with family members, watching personal footage and in choreography training with Aaliyah’s choreographer and dear friend Fatima Robinson,” he told the New York Post. “This movie will be seamless the same way it was for Selena fans who enjoyed Jennifer Lopez.”

As one of Babygirl’s many fans, I really do hope they pull out the stops and make this film a must see. I’ll definitely be in line opening weekend to support.

I think that we should wait a few years for another movie like Notorious. I like how 8 Mile, GRODT, and Notorious were a few years apart. We can't have movies on singers/rappers every other month.

Maully Da Don · 02-02-2009, 10:26 AM

good...i will def see that movie...
