(CelebNMusic247) Idris Elba In the Running For Whitney Houston Biopic
Word is, a Whitney Houston biopic based on Cissy Houston‘s upcoming memoir is being cast and producers have eyes on Idris Elba to play Whitney’s husband Bobby Brown.
But that’s not all producers are looking at Jennifer Hudson and Halle Berry to portray Whitney Houston. And Idris is one of two names being tossed around for the Bobby Brown role. The other name is Anthony Mackey. While sources say Bobbi Kristina wants to play herself.
Dianne Carroll and James Earl Jones are on the wish list to play Whitney’s parents John and Cissy.
Insiders claim the film won’t sugar coat Whitney’s drug use or her tumultuous marriage to Bobby Brown.

Not a good bobby at all! DSHH
Idris will make the perfect Bobbi he was convincing as a drug dealer in The Wire so I know he’ll be just as good playing a crack head
I don’t know if I would want to see that fine man play Bobby…
