Aaliyah's family wants her movie stopped! Biopic may never be made! TV. isn't good enough! Hollywood should film it!

Here's some Aaliyah news from TMZ.

We may never see the Aaliyah movie after all! The Lifetime Network has completely shut out Aaliyah's family! Lifetime did not did not even give Aaliyah's family as much as a courtesy call about the film.
They went into pre-production for the project including writing the script, casting, and even announcing to the world that Zendaya Coleman will be starring in the lead role. However, they gave the family no say in the matter at all what so ever!

The TMZ article states that Aaliyah's family, led by her Uncle and former manager, Barry Hankerson, are attempting to block Aaliyah's music from being used in the film. And they hired a lawyer to attempt to stop the movie all together. The Haughton family feels that her life deserves the Hollywood treatment and not a low budget made for TV movie.

And with that all said. I'd rather see the movie released on television. Hollywood has a special way of flubbing up a story. And if the movie airs on television, there's always the possibly of the film being prolonged into parts. As opposed to 1 single movie with just highlights and what not tossed together to "create" a story. I'd prefer to see the real deal, how it all really went down and with extra details about her life as well as the lives of the people that she worked with!

For example, if Timbaland, Magoo and Missy of the Supafriends group, are not featured in the movie, then in my opinion Lifetime, Hollywood, or whoever makes the film has officially failed her legacy!
I wanna see R Kelly, including her marriage to him, her relationship with Jay -z, her fiance right before she passed away, Dame Dash of Roc-a-fella Records, her movie career, including her friendship with the dog, DMX, and more! Aaliayh's story deserves a 3 part movie series special. 2 hours separated into 3 parts. In fact, I don't watch much TV. outside of reviewing shows. But I'd watch a whole week of her story, every single night!

If the movie is in fact a one night event, I'd be willing to bet a million dollars that music producer and rap artist, Danja, formerly,  "Danja Mowf" AKA "Danja Hands", R&B singer Ginuwine, clothing designer Tommy Hilfiger etc. will have little to no part in the movie! And that's a damn shame! Because anyone who followed her career from the beginning knows that all of those people need to be mentioned to pull her interesting story altogether!

Regardless of who they decide to talk about in the film, I am just happy that it will be made at all! And I just have one request! Let's pray they don't do her the way they did TLC and only give us one short 2 to 2 and half hour long film! Draw it out, make it a series if you have to! Just don't feed us a snack and then leave us hungry! That TLC movie was just too good to just be shown in one part!
