There Are 2 Unreleased Aretha Franklin Films

Description

Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul died recently, at the age of 76, after a cancer battle. She not only leaves behind lots of music but as Rolling Stone reports, two unreleased films about her life. Variety spoke with the producers of "Amazing Grace," an unreleased film 1972 concert film and an in-development biopic, starring Jennifer Hudson, about Franklin's life. Producer Harvey Mason Jr. admitted that the biopic, a long time in the works "was a primary creative concern” for Franklin in her final weeks. Mason Jr. adds, “In the last conversation I had with her last week, she was really optimistic and talking a lot about the movie — and talking a lot about how excited she was to get back on the mic." The Franklin biopic, which still needs a script and director, will be based on hours of conversations Mason Jr. had with Franklin. Although 'Amazing Grace' is complete, Franklin blocked the film at the 2015 Telluride Film Festival. Producer Alan Elliott says that Franklin "loved" the film and remained optimistic that it would soon be released.
