Who Wrote the Book on Whitney?
So, you're wondering who penned the cinematic masterpiece that was I Wanna Dance With Somebody, huh? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because we're about to dive into the depths of Hollywood trivia.
The Mastermind Behind the Magic
The genius behind the script that brought Whitney Houston's incredible life to the silver screen is none other than Anthony McCarten. Yes, that Anthony McCarten, the same guy who turned Stephen Hawking into a box office hit. Talk about range!
McCarten managed to capture the essence of Whitney, the highs, the lows, the glitz, the glam, and the, well, not-so-glam. He weaved a tale that was both heartbreaking and inspiring, making us laugh, cry, and sing along (probably in the shower, let's be honest).
A Team Effort
But let's not forget the rest of the crew. Kasi Lemmons, the director, brought her A-game and turned McCarten's words into a visual spectacle. And of course, the incredible Naomi Ackie, who absolutely nailed the role of Whitney. She was that good.
So, there you have it. Anthony McCarten is the literary wizard who conjured up the magic that is I Wanna Dance With Somebody. But remember, it takes a village to make a movie, and this village delivered.
