Destiny’s Child alum LeToya Luckett will be playing the lead role of Warwick in the flick, aptly titled Dionne, reports The Hollywood Reporter. Olympia Dukakis and Danny Glover have also been added to the cast.
“[LeToya] is perfect, and she has exactly the right look,” Warwick said of Luckett. “She will bring out what is needed for this part.”
Written by Randall Jahnson, the movie will follow the singer’s early career, from 1962 to 1968.
