Already one of the most anticipated releases of the year, the big screen remake of ‘Sparkle’ has the bittersweet status of being the last theatrical effort by the late great Whitney Houston.

Set for release on August 17th, the clip’s official trailer was released moments ago, showing Houston -who died on February 11th at the age of 48- in fine form.

It’s both saddening and uplifting to see Whitney in such fine form in what would become her last proper “body of work”. That said, the trailer holistically indicates that it will be a stellar curtain call for The Voice. Roll on August.
