I hope that the info re Aretha's change of mind towards Halle portraying her are true! There are so many others who would welcome the challenge of bringing Aretha's biography to life on film! Jill Scott (good actress, great singer), JHud (so-so actress, great singer), Queen Latifah (great actress, good singer) and yes, even Fantasia could do a better portrayal of Re Re than Halle.
