After the Movie was the After Party!



COMING ATTRACTIONS

According to sources Canadian R&B songstress Keshia Chanté has been casted for the leading role of Aaliyah for the upcoming Aaliyah biopic slated to hit theaters. A couple of years back - the actress that was supposedly casted to play Aaliyah was video vixen Destiny Light, but Keshia definitely has an uncanny resemblance that makes her more suitable for the part. Not to mention that the pint size singer is a dancer plus has the acting chops to pull it off. The movie is slated to begin filming in the Summer of 2009. Plus, Hype Williams is said to be recreating the music video set for "Rock The Boat," the last music video Aaliyah filmed before her untimely death.  No word as to when the movie is set to be released in theaters, but E3 will definitely keep you all posted
Plus check out a music video for Been Gone from Keshia Chanté below:
