Whitney Houston's final film Sparkle set for summer release

A musical film tipped as a vehicle for the late singer Whitney Houston to make an acting comeback will be released in cinemas this summer, Variety reports.

Sparkle is a remake of the 1976 film of the same name, a personal favourite of Houston's. She plays the mother of three sisters in a musical group who are dealing with the fallout from fame and drugs in a story which was inspired by the Supremes. The singer had acted as executive producer and also recorded several songs for the soundtrack. She had completed all her scenes by the time of her death on Saturday in a Beverly Hills hotel room hours before she was due to attend a pre-Grammy awards party.

The Sparkle remake will also star Jordin Sparks, Cee Lo Green, Mike Epps and Derek Luke. Producer Curtis Wallace told the Detroit News that Houston behaved professionally throughout the shoot in the city. "She started to take on a mother-type role, especially with Jordin (Sparks)," he said. "She was spending time with her and giving her advice."

"I was surprised at how funny she was," he added. "I remember how much fun she was to be around on set. One night, like many, we were working late, it was 2 or 3am and she was making up songs getting everyone laughing."

The original Sparkle was inspirational in the creation of the musical that would eventually debut on Broadway in 1981 as Dreamgirls, later adapted into a 2006 film of the same name which won Jennifer Hudson an Oscar for her turn as Effie White. Houston's godmother, Aretha Franklin, recorded many of the songs for the Sparkle soundtrack.

Bishop T.D. Jakes, a Texas minister and producer on Houston's final film project, a re-make of the 1970s release "Sparkle," said he saw no signs she was having any substance issues. He said Houston was a complete professional and moved the cast and crew to tears two months ago when she sang the gospel hymn "Her Eyes on the Sparrow" for a scene shot in Detroit.

"There was no evidence in working with her on `Sparkle' that there was any struggle in her life," Jakes said Sunday. "She just left a deep impression on everybody."

Whitney Houston's funeral Saturday will be broadcast

Quote
For complete coverage of Whitney Houston's death, tune in to CNN and HLN. On Saturday, CNN's Piers Morgan, Soledad O'Brien and Don Lemon remember the music legend at 11 a.m. ET, and a special CNN Presents at 8 p.m. ET takes a look at her life and death.
(CNN) -- Saturday's funeral for legendary pop singer Whitney Houston is expected to be made available for television and web streaming from the New Jersey church where she grew up, Houston's publicist said Wednesday.
The services, to be held at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, will be in a much smaller, more intimate setting than the concert halls and arenas Houston packed during her heyday.
In every sense, she will be going home.
Publicists and entertainers by Wednesday had confirmed nearly a dozen celebrities and personalities will be in some of the 1,500 coveted, "invitation-only" seats.

I Look To You

Quote
As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
I'm lost without a cause
After giving it my all

Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?

I look to you
I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong

I look to you
I look to you
And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song, I look to you

About to lose my breath
There's no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door

And every road that I've taken
Led to my regret
And I don't know if I'm gonna make it
Nothing to do but lift my head

I look to you
I look to you
And when all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong

I look to you
I look to you
And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song, I look to you

My levee's have broken, my walls have come
Crumbling down on me
The rain is falling, defeat is calling
I need you to set me free

Take me far away from the battle
I need you, shine on me

I look to you
I look to you
After all my strength has gone
In you I can be strong

I look to you
I look to you
And when melodies are gone
In you I hear a song, I look to you

I look to you
I look to you

If they had asked me...I would have made this the final song at her funeral.
