Aretha Franklin
This biopic has been in the works for a long time. But now that Jennifer Hudson is in talks to play the legendary songstress (and Straight Outta Compton‘s Scott Bernstein is set to produce this biopic), we’re excited all over again. This project doesn’t have a title yet, but they say it will be very music-heavy, which has us hoping that we’ll get an album full of Aretha covers to boot!
