this movie was shot between two months and then went into editing for about six months. i can't wait to see it specifically because it's jordin sparks' first movie and i been missin' her since 2009!
josh tobia yes. It's very strange. I find. She's in a good health because it's not drugs or suicide who is the reason of her death but she's killed by I can't to say their name and of the same for the own unique daughter. All for of a lot of money because her mother signed a testament and her daughter haven all her patrimony of her mother. But they killed her for received her testament. Because nobody other is in the list. It's sad. People are ready of to make for the money, money and again again and again. They are not limit for in posseded this money of famous singers or actors or other artists.
Today 8-23-2012@ 01:20pm, I finally got a chance to see Sparkle and I enjoyed this movie! I can honestly say that I enjoyed this movie more than the original. Let me start by saying that people are just lame to compare both movies. I was singing, laughing and I cried some happy tears because I'm a Whitney Houston fan and I'm glad I didn't listen to anyone hating on this movie. Honestly, I enjoyed the whole cast of Sparkle! I love you Whitney, forever missed in my heart. Go see Sparkle!....Peace
I remember the original from the 70's. The people in it became HUGE stars; Irene Cara, Phillip Michael Thomas, Dorian Harewood, Lornett McKee just to name a few. And not to mention the incredible soundtrack by the legendary Curtis Mayfield!!!! You youngsters make sure to do your research on this one!! ;-)
Actually, before the 1982 musical Dreamgirls, and Tyler Perry movies(a reference I am not getting here since not every film about and featuring African Americans are similar to each other), in 1976, there was Sparkle, that starred Irene Cara(Flashdance) and Mary Alice. Watch that, then watch Dreamgirls, see the differences. THANK YOU.
Sparkle is a remake of the 1976 movie Sparkle starting Irene Cara, a movie that came out before every Tyler Perry movie and play ever made and before Dreamgirls...tho, Sparkle and Dreamgirls are both reportedly based on the Supermes (Diana Ross group).
awh , this gives me such a heavy heart. singing this movie , man whitney could have really come back to the silver screen , gone too soon , but god need her far more than we needed her hear . love you whitney, god bless RIP..
One more thing...Whitney looked beautiful and healthy. She was funny and man those piercing stares, reminded me of my Momma. Momma don't play that! I grew up in the 60's and I could personally relate to the characters from Sparkle. I waited patiently for this movie to start, by the time the movie started, I was half- way done with my bag of popcorn, peanut m&m's and ice cold coke. I didn't know that Jordin could sing like that. Love always for Aaliyah and Whitney. Peace
This movie is going to be AMAZING, I don't care that it resembles dream girls, or anything else for that matter. It's not Dream Girls, it's Sparkle and it is going to ROCK.
Definitely saw the original!! WOW!! As a kid, that one changed my life forever. Went church in Harlem in the 70s, and used to see this kind of thing represented in this movie all the time; sad. Great soundtrack, great actresses ( talking of the original), and great singers; Linette, Irene Cara, Mary Alice, and Philip. Great!! Just great! You kids have fun seeing this one, but definitley check out the original. GOD BLESS US ALL, EYES ON JESUS, and EARS TO THE HOLY SPIRIT DAY and NIGHT
WOW!!! Already??? First of all the movie was filmed last year from June to late August. Secondly, why the hell is everyone comparing this one to the original? I mean two different eras and much time passed. Get over yourselves. I'm pretty sure the director didn't want this to be exactly as the first, but wanted the "feel" of it for this generation. Do the "slow" understand? If not, let me know and I'll explain it better in lamens terms just for you.
What y'all doing in their my babies I know y'all don't love each other that much love that part I love whitney Houston sad that she won't be able to see her last movie love her songs on her too.we will always love you ms. Houston and don't be dancing like that so then you gonna bring so babies in here that you cant feed love that part too.
When they first thought about doing this movie wayback when, Aaliyah was supposed to play jordin sparks' part. At least that's what I heard. I love her, she was and is the best.
Yes Sparkle came out b4 Dreamgirls did and Tyler Perry movies so if anything Dreamgirls and Tyler Perry took notes from this story not the other way around.
@aarona13760 Mary Alice played the mother in the original. This is going to be a great movie, much different than the original. The two Sparkles look alike though.
sorry about the the typo. I can spell. I typed the comments on my cell phone and sometimes my fingers gets in the way. Plus my phone is a touch phone is very sensitive. Anyway that's all I have to say.
this looks good and i plan to see it...like the movie dream girls but with Houston playing the mother of the girls it adds soemthing different. In the original movie, who played the mother?
Human beings are never satisfy. I don't listen to other people's crap I draw my own conclusion. Listening to other people makes you look like a follower. I enjoy the movie very much
Yeah the movie was great. The original Sparkle was too boring and iwas shot in the mid 70's so it look cheap. The new is on point custums the lighting everything was on point. Anyway people should not listen to other people there is always something peopel are not going to like no matter that is human nature
this movie was shot between two months and then went into editing for about six months. i can't wait to see it specifically because it's jordin sparks' first movie and i been missin' her since 2009!
I was just watching the 70's sparkle! Can't wait.
WOW,the movie was prepared and filmed before she passed on!
josh tobia yes. It's very strange. I find. She's in a good health because it's not drugs or suicide who is the reason of her death but she's killed by I can't to say their name and of the same for the own unique daughter.

I just keep watching it over and over again

Man i cried when Whitney sung my eyes on the sparrow in this movie.So beautiful.

You get goosebumps seeing Whitney Houston sing "His Eye is on the Sparrow" in retrospect. I got a lump in my throat just from seeing the sound bite.
This was the Best MOVIE OF 2012 LOVE U WHITNEY AND JORDIN :)..
Can't wait to see this movie.....
my advertisement was the trailer for Sparkle.
my video was the trailer for Sparkle.

I wonder will Whitney receive a posthumous Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress in this film.
This movie is going to be AMAZING, I don't care that it resembles dream girls, or anything else for that matter. It's not Dream Girls, it's Sparkle and it is going to ROCK.
Really Want to Watch this Movie :P
Whitney looked so good in this movie what happened? Wow i miss her and still can't believe she's gone!
The original movie came out during 1976. It's nothing like dream girls. Don't mess up the original with this remake.
This movie comes out August 17, and I can't wait to see it.
I love that movie
I'm going to watch this movie !!!!!!
Definitely saw the original!! WOW!! As a kid, that one changed my life forever. Went church in Harlem in the 70s, and used to see this kind of thing represented in this movie all the time; sad.

Sparkle dvd release November 30, 2012. Great movie, Whitney I love you, forever missed in my heart. Peace
I'm so happy for Jordin Sparks!! I do wish Aaliyah was here to play Sparkle though!!!
I saw the old sparkle and it will be no way in this entire world better than the new sparkle with Whitney in the diva will be missed

i never saw the original but this should be interesting
WOW!!! Already??? First of all the movie was filmed last year from June to late August. Secondly, why the hell is everyone comparing this one to the original?

This was before she died (obviously) but the movie is being released after her death
THIS WILL BE OSCAR NOMINATED, ANYONE AGREE?
When Whitney died, they were already finished filming the movie.
it looks better than the original!
Can't wait until that comes we love n miss you Whitney R.I.P
I luv this movie can't get enough
Bill Condon should have directed Sparkle in my opinion.
What y'all doing in their my babies I know y'all don't love each other that much love that part I love whitney Houston sad that she won't be able to see her last movie love her songs on her too.we will always love you ms. Houston and don't be dancing like that so then you gonna bring so babies in here that you cant feed love that part too.
exactly like dream girls!!!
Really pretty, lovely young ladies.
was a good movie R.I.P Whitney Houston
When i saw the Title i thought it's a movie about Edward from Twilight
When they first thought about doing this movie wayback when, Aaliyah was supposed to play jordin sparks' part. At least that's what I heard.
I love her, she was and is the best.

I saw the actors for Sparkle at the Chinese Theater in L.A. for the opening showing
this movie when i went to go see it it made me love jordin sparks evn more
Yeah
I was just about to ask them the same question! lol
Yes Sparkle came out b4 Dreamgirls did and Tyler Perry movies so if anything Dreamgirls and Tyler Perry took notes from this story not the other way around.
@aarona13760 Mary Alice played the mother in the original. This is going to be a great movie, much different than the original. The two Sparkles look alike though.
how can you watch the full movie?? i have no idea were to get it aha
this movie is gonna make me cry seein whitney's last thing
Irene Cara, Lonette Makay, Mary Alice, and it was about 3 sisters growing up in Harlem, not Detroit,
I am a HUGE fan of the original-- hope this version is as good. Sad this was Whitney's last.
Ok, see, thank you I was confused.
sorry about the the typo. I can spell. I typed the comments on my cell phone and sometimes my fingers gets in the way. Plus my phone is a touch phone is very sensitive. Anyway that's all I have to say.
What's the song at 2:02?
Carmen Ejogo..she played Sister in this movie.
bitter sweet...
this looks good and i plan to see it...like the movie dream girls but with Houston playing the mother of the girls it adds soemthing different. In the original movie, who played the mother?
Let's hope!!
Didnt whitney die?
It makes me sad that whitney houston passed before the whole world knew about this amazing movie she was apart of
I seen the movie
thankyou someone besides me know she got killled
Yes, Really. But i got my answer from a kind person who actually replied with an answer as opposed to just being obnoxcious.
@Sarah Haywood Yes but u do kno they shoot films a year or two before it comes out in theatres
OMG THE FUCK UP A CLASSIC I
On Imdb: Sparkle got a 4.5 and The Expendables 2 got a 8.0??????? WTF???
Human beings are never satisfy. I don't listen to other people's crap I draw my own conclusion. Listening to other people makes you look like a follower. I enjoy the movie very much
god bless, whitney...you were one of akind
this is like dream girls better with amazing women.
I can wait Whitney fans is going to sell this out
I AGREE OSCAR AND WHITNEY DESERVED IT A LONG TIME AGO
2:06 Cora Simmons!
RIP Whitney
@TheMiagirlist how old are you?

Lisa Raye should have been sister !! but the movie still looks like its gonna be good
Keep dancing Like that and you gonna bring home some kids you cant feed
จอร์ดิน สวยมากกก
Yeah the movie was great. The original Sparkle was too boring and iwas shot in the mid 70's so it look cheap. The new is on point custums the lighting everything was on point. Anyway people should not listen to other people there is always something peopel are not going to like no matter that is human nature
