I vividly remember my grandmother practically forcing me to watch the original Sparkle movie when I was about sixteen years old. To my surprise, the movie immediately caught my attention and became one of my all time favorite classic movies. I've been eagerly waiting for the release of the remake, that singer Aaliyah was supposed to headline before her death, and was super excited after watching this trailer.  This is also Whitney's Houston's last movie and was appropriately coined as her epic comeback.  The new Sparkle was directed by Salim Akil and written by Howard Rosenman and Mara Brock Akil (writer of "The Game" sitcom). Jordin Sparks plays the star, Sparkle Williams and Whitney Houston plays her mother. Excited!!!! Other members of the all-star cast include: Tika Sumpter, Mike Epps, Derek Luke and Cee-Lo Green. The movie is set to be released in August 2012.  It'll be refreshing to see Ms. Houston grace the screen again...
