News about Ashton Sanders

Naomi Ackie, Ashton Sanders, and Stanley Tucci appear in Kasi Lemmons' latest film "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" as the iconic Whitney Houston and the influential people in her life. Ackie is a natural performer in Houston, and she does a great job at it. Not only do the two look strikingly alike, Ackie portrays many of Houston's demeanors, her triumph, and, above all, her ability to change the game of music forever. With such similar appearances, it's unclear if the voice is included. Though Ackie makes the perfect person to pick up the role of Houston, is she actually belting out the songs featured in the movie? The short answer is no. Ackie's portrayal of Houston was spot on, according to mastermind music producer Clive Davis, but Houston's authentic voices would be used throughout the film. Davis, a singer who helped bring Houston to fame, knew the singer for more than half of her life, but she also knew it would be difficult to duplicate her talent and singing skills. "We didn't think anyone could capture her vocal genius," Davis told USA Today in May 2021, "we didn't expect it to be the Whitney voice in the film."

During the 2021 series of Love Island, she was on television screens in skimpy bikinis. Sharron Gaffka wowed on the red carpet as she appeared in a plunging black glitter jumpsuit at the I Wanna Dance With Somebody screening at London's Ham Yard Hotel. On Monday night, the reality star, 26, brought the glamour to the star-studded event as she shot up a storm for the cameras.

Sam Teale, a 20-year-old film director, has come to new prominence after launching his own tear-jerking alternative Christmas commercial following a young widower who struggles to make Christmas special for his son despite the cost of living crisis. The three-minute clip, which viewers claim is more popular than competitors this year's hugely successful John Lewis Christmas ads, has earned more than 20 million views on Facebook and TikTok, and has left viewers in tears. Mr Teale said he wanted to share the news that 'Christmas is made, not bought' was sent to the thousands of families who are struggling with rising bills and costs.

"I Wanta Dance With Somebody," Naomi Ackie's much-anticipated Whitney Houston biopic, is now available. Fans will be able to experience how the singer icon's most memorable career moments will be brought to the big screen, from the night she was discovered by respected film producer Clive Davis to her unforgettable, Earth-shifting interpretation of the national anthem at the 1991 Super Bowl. This December, the film, which also stars Ashton Sanders and Stanley Tucci, is expected to land in cinemas. Kasi Lemmons, who wrote "Bohemian Rhapsody" in 2018, is the film's writer.

The first trailer for Sony Pictures' fully licensed Whitney Houston biopic titled I Wanna Dance with Somebody appeared on Thursday, but fans were concerned that Naomi Ackie didn't look enough. The British 30-year-old (The Score, Master of None) 'put in a year of intense preparation' to play the late R&B belter and also executive produced Kasi Lemmons' film, which premiered in US theaters on December 21.

Filming for the much-anticipated Whitney Houston biopic I Wanna Dance With Somebody is well underway. And Naomi Ackie, the actress playing the late pop star, was seen in costume for the first time on set of the film on Thursday in Los Angeles. The 29-year-old female from London, England, appeared as Houston, circa 1980s-1990s, which was around the time she dropped her first two studio albums that produced seven number one hit songs.
