Dionne Warwick Slams Upcoming Whitney Houston Biopic: “I Want Them To Let Whitney Rest In Peace”
Producer Clive Davis is gearing up to release “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” another Whitney Houston biopic. Although a film about Whitney’s life has already been made, Davis previously said, “he has a mission to make sure that for all time that the full picture of Whitney Houston is captured in a no-holds-barred film that is musically rich and shows her genius and more of her character than we have seen to date.”

While speaking with the Los Angeles Times, Dionne Warwick shared how she felt about another Whitey film being created.
“I want them to let Whitney rest in peace,” Warwick honestly told the Los Angeles Times. “Leave her alone. Ten years [since she died] – it’s time to let her sleep.” To note, Whitney Houston is a cousin of Dionne Warwick. Whitney’s mother, the gospel-trained vocalist, Cissy Houston, is an aunt of Dionne.
The “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” film has already cast British actress Naomi Ackie in the lead role, and Ashton Sanders as Bobby Brown.
