Whitney Houston Theatrical Documentary Biopic Coming

The life of the late singer Whitney Houston is to be documented in a feature film by British Oscar winner Kevin Macdonald.

"I want audiences to walk out of the cinema and feel positive about Whitney and her music," said Macdonald, who directed The Last King of Scotland.

It will be a"theatrical feature documentary". It marks the first documentary to be authorized by Houston's estate since her death in 2012 and promises to tell the authentic story of the star's life, examining both the highs and lows of her remarkable career.

"The story that is never told about Whitney is just how brilliant she was as an artist; by many measures she had the greatest voice of the last 50 years," said Macdonald.​

"She changed the way pop music was sung - bringing it back full circle to its blues and gospel roots.

"I want to reveal a woman that even her most die-hard fans never knew; and a woman those new to her life and music will never forget," said Macdonald, whose documentary includes Touching the Void and One Day in September.

"She changed the way pop music was sung - bringing it back full circle to its blues and gospel roots."

"Although we won't shy away from the darker parts of Whitney's life - her descent into addiction - I want audiences to walk out of the cinema and feel positive about Whitney and her music."

Houston was one of the most celebrated female singers of all time, with hits including I Will Always Love You and Saving All My Love For You.
