A biopic detailing the short-lived life of R&B sensation Aaliyah is reported to have began filming around March of 2010. No official release date has been set but the movie is scheduled to drop sometime in 2011 and is said to carry an $80 million production price tag. Aaliyah's life met a tragic end on August 25th, 2001 following a plane crash while on her way back from shooting a music video in Jamaica. She was 22 when she passed.
Canadian singer Keisha Chante (pictured Right) will be starring in the much anticipated biopic. It has been reported that the movie's production will be carried out by Warner Brothers Films and will be directed by Bill Condon, producer of "Dreamgirls" and "The Twilight Saga."
Rumor has it that the movie will hold nothing back, as it will also document the singer's controversial marriage to R. Kelly (Kelly was 27 while Aaliyah was 15 at the time). Nothing much has been divulged in relation to the upcoming CD.
REFLECTION: Personally I'm a huge fan of her work and can't wait for the movie and the CD to drop. Let's see if Keisha can deliver, clearly they look alike so I see why she was chosen for the part. #PatientlyWaiting.
