as the legendary singer Aretha Franklin, had filmed 5 1/2 episodes of its eight-episode order when production shut down mid-March amid the escalating coronavirus outbreak. Two weeks later, Nat Geo delayed the premiere of the limited series, originally slated for May 25. There is new date yet.
“We are fortunate to be working on such a beautiful, necessary, and relevant show In these challenging and difficult times,” Parks wrote in the letter, obtained by Deadline. “We’ll get through this together. We’ll lead with respect and compassion. We have been called to serve the Queen of Soul.”Added Parks, “Queen Aretha Franklin’s existence has summoned us all here so that we can make a great show, yeah, and also so that we can realize the highest version of ourselves. We will stay safe.
Issa no...
“We have been called to serve the Queen of Soul”? That is false. Aretha was behind ONE project, and that is RespectMovie. This NatGeoGenius production is in such poor taste. Deadline, please stop posting about them every day.
Aretha did NOT “summon” anyone or anything about this production. Aretha wanted to make RespectMovie, not this. Which is why she handpicked Jennifer Hudson for the role.
Can we cool it with the articles about this disrespectful trainwreck? Their publicist is working overtime.
I’ll wait for the JHud version.
