Bobbi Kristina to Play Whitney Houston in Upcoming Biopic?

The New York Post reports that Bobbi Kristina, daughter of the late Whitney Houston, told friends that she would like to portray her mother in the upcoming film biopic. Currently, Rihanna, Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks and Brandy are reportedly under consideration for the highly sought-after role. According to TMZ, Kristina told friends that she believes she is the "perfect person" to play the late singer in a biographical film as "no one knew her better."

Clive Davis, record label executive and long-time friend of Houston, has been working on a possible biopic even before the singer's untimely death in February at age 48. A source recently told People UK, "Whitney knew about the project and was excited to see where it would lead. It's hoped the biopic will be as successful as Tina Turner movie 'What's Love Got To Do With It,' which landed two Oscar nominations for Angela Bassett and Laurence Fishburne who played Tina and Ike Turner."

In a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey, Kristina revealed that she did have dreams of becoming a movie star, commenting "I'm her daughter, I gotta keep movin', I gotta carry on her legacy," Kristina said. "We're gonna do the singing thing, we're gonna do some acting, some dancing, you know. It's a lot of pressure, but she prepared me for it."
