Lifetime is in preproduction on a TV movie of the
life of the late R&B singer, Aaliyah, who died in a plane crash in
2001. Aaliyah's family strongly oppose the film, stating they want a
movie with a theatrical release. Her family has stated a TV movie is
not good enough for her. Aaliyah's family is vowing to block the use
of her music in the film, as a means of shutting down the movie
before it is made.

Disney actress, Zendaya Coleman, has been cast in
the Lifetime biopic "Aaliyah Princess of R&B" slated to begin
production shortly. Coleman does bear some physical similarities to
Aaliyah, but is not the best choice to play her in a film. Many of
Aaliyah's fans are opposed to Coleman playing her in the film and
have stated so online in numerous forums and website feedback
comment sections.
