The latest buzz surrounding Jennifer Hudson is that she will play Aretha The Body in an upcoming film based on her life. In my expert opinion I think they should role with Samwell but whatever.

Aretha was overheard talking about Jennifer at the Rock ‘N’ Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Monday night.

But she was a little more guarded when speaking to Access Hollywood, saying: “The producers want to know how I feel about it, about her playing me. What I’d like to see is three different people playing me.”

She added: “Perhaps someone playing me from the age of 25 to about 40 and then someone else beyond that.” (source)

Whoever ends up in the role (or roles) may not have to worry about nailing down the legend’s distinctive vocals.

“There may even be a little lip synching here and there,” Franklin explained to Access Hollywood. “We’ve gotta go with some of these records [I made throughout my career]. They were classics, and some of it, it will be verbal but not vocalized in its entirety.” ReRe will work closely with the production of the film, which is scheduled to begin auditions this May in Detroit.
