The team behind the Whitney Houston biopic, which premiered in NYC on Tuesday, discuss her family and Clive Davis' involvement in the project, as well as the film's last-minute name change.
Ashton Sanders, who plays Houston’s husband Bobby Brown, added, “I think this film does a great job at covering the full life of Whitney Houston. We see it from the beginning to the unfortunate end, and I feel like the highs are the highs and the lows are the lows, but it’s all still very beautiful.”
“The point of this film is to show Whitney’s triumphs and the failures, the trials and tribulations, the joy and the sorrow,” added Tamara Tunie, who plays Houston’s mother Cissy Houston. “It’s a multidimensional life lived by a multidimensional human being.”
