The first trailer is here for the Whitney Houston biopic “I Wanna Dance with Somebody.” It’s clear from what we see here that this will be a movie about Whitney, the singer, and her music — particularly the creative relationship with record company chief Clive Davis.
We’re not going to get the drugs, the romance with Robyn Crawford, Bobby Brown, or Whitney’s descent into madness. All the singing is from Whitney herself, and Naomi Ackie looks like she inhabits Whitney’s spirit before everything went south. Stanley Tucci is the perfect choice for Clive.
