I’ll file this under "unconfirmed" for now; although the folks at Tracking Board, who are breaking this news in an exclusive, have been mostly correct in their past exclusive reports, so there’s a good chance that this will eventually turn out to be official. Also worth noting is that Jennifer Hudson has long been in the running for the role (according to Aretha Franklin anyway), so if she has indeed been cast, it wouldn’t be a surprise.
According to Tracking Board, Jennifer Hudson has been cast as Aretha Franklin in the songstress’ biopic. The website also adds that Universal Pictures executive and prolific producer Scott Bernstein is shepherding the project.
