Will they puff Halle up to look like her?

DEAD WRONG CHOICE! DEAD WRONG! There were talks of Jennifer Hudson playing her, why Halle Berry now? Is Aretha's vanity overcoming her good sense? What are they going to do, put her in a fat suit? Aretha was never really skinny, Halle cannot sing or play the piano! Okay, she can lipsynch, they can show someone else's hands playing the piano but what about the weight issue? This is ridiculous! This is why Ricky Gervais makes fun of Hollywood.

Really? Halle said on the Golden Globe red carpet that she didn't think she could play Aretha because she does not know how to sing and then went on to say...If Aretha would sing then she (Halle) would do the Acting but I would hardly say this is a done deal. It may very well be Aretha wishing it to happen.

Jennifer Hudson is better of because Jennifer even almost looks and sounds like Aretha Franklin. if they use Halle they should be rest assured that the movie will flop
