The world has been waiting for the movie about Aaliyah’s life for almost 3 years, and now the actress who was to portray Aaliyah in the film, is breaking her silence about why it has not been made yet.

Yesterday, here is what  actress/singer Keisha Chante’ told CYinterview:

“I did meet a few people production company wise that are developing the Aaliyah movie and they spoke to me about playing her in the biopic of her life… And from my understanding, there are people trying to create a movie and Aaliyah’s family are still mourning her loss and aren’t ready to share her story and create a film.

So there’s a bit of back and forth thing with her family and with creative people. And I know that they would bless a movie being created, they’re just not 100 percent comfortable and unfortunately from my understanding they don’t have complete control of her estate.

So a movie could technically be made without them green lighting it and I kind of think that’s unfortunate. So I want her family to be on board and to be happy with it. It’s still kind of lingering in the air.”

So there is some “legal issues” holding up the production of Aaliyah’s film. I wish that they would get this straightened out. It has been 11 years since her death. The fans would love this!
