The new movie, which is bound to be a classic, stars some of Hollywood’s best, including Mike Epps, Derek Luke, Cee-Lo Green and Jordan Sparks.

Houston, who was only 48 at the time of her death, reminisced with Access Hollywood last year about her close bond with Sparks, 22, according to E Online: 

“I can remember doing The Bodyguard, my first movie, and I was petrified,” she said. “I just know that there’s some time of trepidation and some nervousness…But Jordan has it down. Trust me.”

The late singer said she’d give Sparks “mommy hugs” because “the vibe we set behind the scenes is what you’ll see on the screen. That’s what’s really important.”

Can you believe it’s been 16 years since the R&B singer has been in front of the movie cameras?
