Whitney Houston‘s family may not be happy with the upcoming Lifetime biopic on her life, but the show must go on.
Filming of I Will Always Love You: The Whitney Houston Story has begun, and Entertainment Tonight got some exclusive footage from behind-the-scenes, featuring a first set look at Yaya DaCosta as Whitney Houston.
The clip reveals Yaya lip-synching to Deborah Cox‘s cover of Whitney‘s classic “I’m Every Woman,” a move made since the family wouldn’t approve Whitney’s original vocals.
In the video, director Angela Bassett also responds to Bobbi Kristina‘s Twitter backlash about not being cast as her mother.
The film is set to premiere on Lifetime in 2015.
