The first trailer for Lifetime’s Whitney Houston biopic made its debut on the 4th of this month, ahead of the film’s premiere on Saturday, January 17th. Directed by Houston’s Waiting to Exhale co-star Angela Bassett, the film stars former ‘America’s Top Model’ contestant Yaya DaCosta as the ultimately tragic singer. The trailer shows the highs and lows of Houston’s career, with an emphasis on her turbulent relationship with the former New Edition member Brown. Reports stated that the biopic will also not shy away from tackling Houston’s drug abuse.
