I'd like to see this movie get made, but I don't support it being done without her familiy's concent. Agree with TGJ that w/o the people who were closest to her it runs the risk of becoming a sensationalized tabloid biopic without any heart or sincerity. Like that tacky VH1 movie about Michael Jackson starring Flex Alexander.

But on the other hand, the thing about the Haughton's that I've observed is that they are very private, almost to the point of being secretive. They seem like one of those families who is all about protecting perception and don't trust anyone outside the family. I have a feeling that any Aaliyah biopic that they authorize would be a total fluff piece that glosses over anything not nice or complimentary. Left up to them, they'd probably largely ignore the whole R. Kelly thing and have it be mostly smiles, singing and inspirational comments.

There needs to be some balance.
