She's going to harp on the R. Kelly portion of the movie for about an hour and a half. F@ck.

Lifetime needs to shut down production indefinitely. Wendy is pathetic and she can go straight to hell wearing gasoline soaked panties as far as I'm concerned. I bet she just wants to focus on the R. Kelly drama and the alleged love triangle between jay , Aaliyah and Dame. Smdh.

This is a Lifetime movie, it is going to SUCK. No matter who stars, who produces... no reason to get worked up over any of this.

This is true, which is why I think the general consensus is that it shouldn't be happening at all. Especially since pretty much everyone who could provide moments and insight that we don't know about is adamantly opposed.

What happened to it being a VH1 film?
They did a pretty nice job with the TLC biopic. So now Lifetime has this PLUS the Whitney Houston one?

I'm not watching this or the Whitney one. I agree that VH1 would have been better as a TV movie.

Lifetime needs to shut down production indefinitely. permanently. Wendy is pathetic and she can go straight to hell wearing gasoline soaked panties as far as I'm concerned. I bet she just wants to focus on the R. Kelly drama and the alleged love triangle between jay , Aaliyah and Dame. Smdh. Didn't I tell you it was coming? No wonder she was so arrogant to believe that this film can be done without the music. A film about one of the most humble human beings in the music world, being run by a woman who drools like a xenomorph at the thought and the possibility of injecting her own twisted idea of high drama into the project--fantasy though it will surely become--has all the ingredients for nitro-glycerine and the explosion it will cause if this project is allowed to proceed under her supervision. Unless the Haughton family gave this TV movie their blessing, with Wendy as exec, I think they are going to withhold Aaliyah's music from the project, and I wouldn't be surprised if R. Kelly, Timbaland and Missy support the family on this; and if they do, it will be like trying to play a baseball game without the ball. The movie will sink like an anvil; and if it does, Wendy will grasp at straws on her show to try and put a happy face on the project. But you know what they say about lipstick on a pig...

Her family has hired Zane to write the screenplay for the feature film biopic and actress/singer B. Simone will play the starring role. Unreleased music will also be included.

Well... I wouldn't get my hopes up just yet. I'll believe when I hear it. After over a DECADE of broken promises I'm sceptical.

Aaliyah overload. :'( If they use the Biggie Smalls playbook, they'd best not leave too many loose ends, and they'd best not overdo any major roles (Lil' Kim had quite a bit to say about how she was portrayed in the Biggie film). If Wendy's TV bio flops, and the theatrical bio draws at least the same as the Biggie bio ($36.8 million U.S.), Wendy could find herself inventing excuses out of thin air to criticize the theatrical; never mind that it will make her look like a sore loser. Lifetime's biggest mistake is that they never consulted the family, and therefore have no first-hand accounts from the family. Was her brother Rashad managing her at any point during her career?

I don't trust nor would I want to support anything that leech Barry is involved with but I do want Aaliyah's story to be properly told and the promise of hearing unreleased music excites me.

New pic of /.\: He is cute LOL and Aaliyah was always down with the "kids". ;) Madeline thanks for that transcript. I didn't know she was planning on touring or that she wanted to work with D'Angelo. That just further strengthens my case as she would have develop into a great touring act and how her music would have progressed with even greater vocals. Ugh! That makes my mouth water in delight and pisses me off at the same time LOL. I love how poised, articulate and intelligent she was. A class act.
I love Wendy so I say get money betch! As far as this theatrical release goes, hopefully we get a SOUNDTRACK or an album from it. I'm only here for music.

Zane? Why is an author of porn for bored housewives writing a script about Aaliyah's life? Why the f**k are these people so incompetent? Of all the people who could write a script based on Aaliyah's life... oh, let's go with someone who writes terrible erotic fiction.

Wax Poetics Magazine Remembers Aaliyah’s Musical Legacy and Examines Her “Eternal Soul” “Princess of R&B”
New York, NY – August 4, 2014 – As Hollywood reshuffles the casting deck for a posthumous bio-pic on R&B star Aaliyah, the summer issue of Wax Poetics delves into the singer’s background and career as it celebrates the 20th anniversary of her debut album Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number (Jive Records,1994). In his cover story “Eternal Soul,” veteran journalist Michael A. Gonzales fuses exclusive content from interviews with the late singer with recent recollections of those who guided her career, to reveal fresh insights into her short life. Gonzales lays claim to being the first print journalist to interview the vocalist, just as her professional career was taking off. Having first met the singer at a Motor City Sheraton back in 1994, Gonzales says, “Aaliyah was a sweet, shy young lady. But I could tell immediately that she was serious about her art.” After going on to achieve fame as a singer and actress, Aaliyah died on August 25, 2001 at the age of 22 in a plane crash that also killed the pilot and eight other passengers. Gonzales has a storied career as a journalist, having covered popular culture for more than 20 years and interviewing countless R&B legends, including Barry White, Curtis Mayfield and Sade. “When I first heard the R. Kelly-produced Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number, I was already comparing Aaliyah to pop legends Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, Marilyn McCoo and Janet Jackson. She had a soothing and slightly-reserved soprano that was pop while still being soulful.” Featuring stunning images shot by celebrity photographer Jonathan Mannion (Nicki Minaj, Jay-Z), “Eternal Soul” largely focuses on the singer’s musical legacy while briefly touching upon the sex scandal surrounding Aaliyah and her musical mentor R. Kelly. Covering the time-period between her first two albums Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number and the groundbreaking One in a Million, the article was culled from interviews Gonzales conducted from 1995 to 2005 with the late singer as well as R. Kelly, Wayne Williams, Timbaland, Missy Elliott, and Kelly’s former music teacher Lena McLin. The chorus of voices Gonzales interviewed to compose “Eternal Soul” also includes Michael J. Powell, who produced Aaliyah’s earliest demos and is also best known for Anita Baker’s Rapture album; Jeff Sledge, former Jive Records A&R man, photographer Terrence A. Reese, who shot the Age Ain't Nothing But A Number album cover; engineer Jimmy Douglass who has worked with producer Timbaland since the beginning of his career; Jason King, inaugural and founding faculty member of The Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music; fledgling artist/singer Courtney Noelle, the first lady of Wiz Khalifa's Taylor Gang; Bill Banfield, composer and professor at the Berklee College of Music and pop journalist Elon Johnson.
