MOVIES IN THE PARK: Sparkle
In Sparkle, three sisters form a successful singing group and must deal with the fallout of fame and drugs. It is a remake of the 1976 movie of the same name, which centered on three singing teenage sisters from Harlem who form a girl group in the late 1950s. In this version of the iconic film, the story takes place in Detroit, Michigan in the 1960s during the Motown era.
The film stars Jordin Sparks, Derek Luke, Whitney Houston, Mike Epps, Cee Lo Green, Carmen Ejogo, Tika Sumpter, Tamela Mann, and Omari Hardwick and features songs from the original film written by soul musician Curtis Mayfield as well as new compositions by R. Kelly. Sparkle also marks Whitney Houston’s fifth and final feature film role before her death on February 11, 2012, three months after filming ended. The film is dedicated to her memory.
