on Sunday night, with Hudson’s powerful cover of “Respect” soundtracking the preview. The clip features scenes of Franklin performing and asserting herself during interactions with the men in her life and those in the music industry. Directed by Liesl Tommy, the film also stars Marlon Wayans, Audra McDonald, Forest Whitaker, Queen Latifah, Mary J. Blige and Marc Maron.
Prior to the trailer’s debut, Hudson covered Franklin’s “Young, Gifted & Black” during the awards show. In an emerald green gown, Hudson first sat behind a white piano before moving to a standing microphone. White-clad back-up singers surrounded Hudson for the striking performance.
Not Jennifer Lawrence? What’s going on with Hollywood these days!
MsPattyJackson Looking forward 2 this. Hoping to C ArethaFranklin sstr Carolyn -- a very gifted writer & singer who left us WAY too soon -- in film. One of my fav Aretha songs was 'Angel' which Carolyn wrote & who Aretha refers to early in the song. RIH Aretha & Carolyn
Her performance was so good I could hardly handle watching it.
Aretha voice is unmatched and unearthly. I would have preferred lip syncing. She sounds nothing like Aretha.
I love Aretha and just hope it's as good as Ray.
All that yelling...two hours of yelling
Oh god. Im not gonna be able to handle all this greatness. 😭
Mary J too? I can't wait to see this.
