Actress Alexandra Shipp takes on the role of a lifetime as she assumes the part of R&B princess Aaliyah in Lifetime’s forthcoming biopic of the late star.
Airing November 15th at 8/7p C, the womens’ television network – despite being greeted by mixed reviews from fans of the songstress – are forging ahead with promotion of the project they’re billing the “event of the season.” While our peeks at the movie’s trailer can definitely confirm such billing, we’ve been keeping our eyes glued to the behind-the-scenes looks at its creation.
Tuck in below to hear Shipp and Luther Brown, the movie’s choreographer, dish on Aaliyah’s legacy and what viewers can expect when the film makes its premiere in just two weeks!
It all awaits…

No shade to mark or the rest of the aaliyah fans but this movie is gonna be a mess.
I agree
Glad we can agree on something
this is the only time I agree with you
that’s wassup I wrote you on Twitter btw
Girl, how dear you put Rihanna’s name next to Goddess Aaliyah’s. Repent for your sins that you have commented.
There’s parts where’s she nails it, has the movies and Aaliyah’s smoothness and swag down to the T. And then there’s parts I’m like “Who’s dis?”
mark stop lying she didn’t embody Aaliyah lol they couldn’t even get the outfits correct
It’s here and there, but I spot them. But yea, most of the time, who dis?
hahaha this movie is a PARODY critics who have seen early sceenings of this movie have been trashing it and bye at this Unknown low budget choreographer speaking up on babygirl style as if he was Fatima Robinson which was aaliyahs choreographer
B**** is talking like she KNOWS her. She’s a real c***.

I agree the movie looks a mess ! Aaliyah’s mom and brother didn’t want anything to do with this movie neither did timbaland, Fatima or missy ! Yes Fatima was Aaliyah’s choreographer ! But Luther brown the choreographer for this movie is amazing and just as talented and I’m a dancer and dance instructor and ive taken his classes.. So just because u aren’t a dancer or don’t know him doesn’t me he is a low budget choreographer.. Also Wendy Williams is an executive producer so that’s another reason this movie seems to be a mess with her shady transgender looking ass… As much as I don’t want to support this I want to see how they portray and depict her life
One of the trailers, it says “Before Rihanna, before Beyonce, there’s was one name.” and I was like oop!
Lol Only YOU Aaliyah fans believe that.
Lmao right!
It’s a well known fact.
yo, im not seeing or feeling any Aaliyah mannerisms, she looks like her, but i dont see anything else.
This movie will be trash. Forget the fact of her not looking like Aaliyah…She doesn’t embodie her.
You cannot make a movie about Aaliyah in a month. It will never be right…
This family been through So much! They lost the grandma, father and Aaliyah. I feel for them so much and understand why the mother and brother are so protective. That damn uncle can go to hell.
Yeah i hate that uncle. that uncle is the spawn of satan!
this movie is pointless! ,its going to be based on lies and assumptions and they are disrespecting her family like what are they going to talk about that wasn’t already addressed in her vh1 behind the music and on her E! true Hollywood story
Omg, I just read that Aaliyah’s mom has cancer 🙁 So her dad passes away, and now her mom is sick, i’m really feeling for Aaliyah’s brother Rashad right now 🙁
Damn thats horrible
Where you hear that from? Link?
No shade to mark or the rest of the aaliyah fans but this movie is gonna be a mess..
This is such a terrible idea. Aaliyah’s personal life and etc will not be told by this movie. This will just (imo) embarrass her. It’s sad that they can’t let lady rest in peace. I haven’t seen something so seemingly tragic since my fav’s Glittery moment… 🙁
You know, people dog Glitter as if Crossroads never happen. I didn’t think the movie was THAT bad.
Hey Sam, can you have Rashad do a TGJ: Replay on “The miseducation of Lauryn Hill”, I am listening to it right now and getting my everlasting entire life.
Hey love…
When did she become the princess of rnb? I’m confused
your a monica stan that’s a joke with in itself hahaha so stay in your lane
She wasn’t believable as a drummer in the Drumline sequel and she certainly won’t be able to pull off the image of a naturally gifted singer, dancer and actress. It’s a shame that this girl will sit in the interview room and make herself sound as though she knew Aaliyah personally. She sounds stupid trying to tell Aaliyah’s close family and friends what Aaliyah was thinking and feeling about R. Kelly or anything else in her life. If Alexandra is such an expert on Aaliyah, she would know that Aaliyah was not about anyone going against her family’s wishes.
First this girl don’t look anything close to Aaliyah nope… shes just too far from Aaliyah’s look goodness thats a big turn off Aaliyah has a v kinda face and cat eyes not a choby u face.. I cant
