Whitney Houston's Final Film, 'Sparkle,' Slated for Summer Release

Before her shocking death this weekend at the age of 48, Whitney Houston had completed what was expected to be her comeback to the big screen: a remake of the 1976 film Sparkle. Co-starring American Idol winner Jordin Sparks and Cee Lo Green, the movie was to be the first for Houston since The Preacher’s Wife in 1996. Houston was an executive producer on the film and contributed to its soundtrack.
