Celebrity Publicist Toni Embry To Serve As Unit Publicist On Whitney Houston Film 'Sparkle'

Celebrity Entertainment Publicist, Toni Embry, accepted offer and signed to head up publicity as unit publicist for Whitney Houston's “come-back” Film 'Sparkle'. This makes an impressive 30 films to-date that Mr. Embry has worked on.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Whitney Houston – Glacé Entertainment P.R.™
PRLog (Press Release) – Oct 10, 2011 – Glacé Entertainment Public Relations™ announced today that its Chief Celebrity Entertainment Publicist, Toni Embry, signed on the dotted line to head up the publicity department for the film 'Sparkle' ( 'Sparkle' Official IMDB Page – http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1876451/ )

Toni was first offered the crew position 2 months ago when the project was green-lit, but was unable to accept due uncertain filming schedules. A finalized shooting script and schedule yielded the opportunity for Toni to participate and he accepted without equivocation.

The film (produced and distributed by Sony Pictures) is a remake of a 1976 film (by the same name) that starred Philip Michael Thomas, Irene Cara and Lonette McKee and was directed by Sam O'Steen. The current film centers around three sisters forming a successful singing group and dealing with the fallout of fame, drugs, and the music industry. Both films have been rumored to be loosely based on the musical group, 'The Supremes'.

The star-studded cast of 'Sparkle' includes Whitney Houston and is already being labeled her “come-back” film. Not only acting in the film, Ms. Houston will have executive producer credits on the film according to Debra Martin Chase, producer of Sparkle. She stated Houston deserves the title considering she's been there from the beginning in 2001 when Houston obtained Sparkle production rights. RnB singer Aaliyah's death in a 2001 plane crash derailed production which would have began in 2002.

This film marks the 30th film/T.V. production that Toni Embry as served as a unit or set publicist on. He was elated to sign and be part of this production.

“I feel very honored and humbled that my 30th film is one that has the legendary Ms. Houston starring in it. I grew up listening to her music and her illustrious career has spanned many generations and 2 decades. Every film or television project I have worked on is special in one way or another and the memories I have made working on them (the good and the bad) are ones that keep me moving forward to the next project and continuing to grow in this industry. I look forward to embark on this journey with this professional and talented cast and crew.” – Chief Celebrity Entertainment Publicist, Toni Embry ( Official Toni Embry IMDB Page – http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2937640/ )

The film is wrapping up the pre-production stage and moving swiftly into principal photography to keep with its projected late fall release date in 2012. The film is filming on location in Detroit, MI.

Hier wieder ein neues Set Bild von “Sparkle” mit Whitney Houston und Mike Epps.

http://www.crunktastical.net/w…..y-mike.jpg

Dann noch einige positive Kommentare über Whitney:

The legendary Whitney Houston looked a picture of beauty as she posed it up on the set of her new movie ‘Sparkle’, with actor Mike Epps.

Starring Jordin Sparks, the remake of the 1976 movie (loosely based on the story of The Supremes) is also being executively-produced by the ‘Million Dollar Bill’ singer.

With filming commencing in Detroit this week, it appears the diva jumped straight in with the singing scenes. What did those on set say about her much-debated vocals?

Find out for yourself after the jump…

Bin schon sehr gespannt auf mehr tolle Whitney Bilder :)

Ist hat ihr Lachen wieder gefunden.

Ihre Stimme klingt wieder besser und sie soll wohl bis jetzt am Film Set nicht mehr geraucht haben.

Jetzt fehlt nur noch der Film Erfolg für “Sparkle” und ein neuer Mann für Whitney und schließlich die neue Kariere ihrer Tochter was sie sich ja selbst auch wünscht.

Hier ein kleiner Artikel von Whitneys offizieller Seite:

Whitney's Return to The Big Screen!

Whitney is all set to return to the big screen in Sparkle, a remake of the 1976 film of the same name. She will star alongside a brilliant cast, including Jordin Sparks, Derek Luke, Mike Epps, and more.

The film will be directed by Salim Akil (Jumping The Broom), with original music provided by none other than R. Kelly, who if you remember, wrote the title track off of Whitney's latest album, “I Look To You”.

To find out what Whitney had to say about the film, and to see photos of Whitney on a day off from shooting, visit WhitneyHouston.com

Whitney Houston has joined the cast of SPARKLE which began principal photography this week in Detroit, Michigan. SPARKLE is a remake of the 1976 film and tells the story of the title character Sparkle (Jordin Sparks), the youngest of three sisters and a music prodigy who struggles to become a star while facing issues that are tearing her family apart. Starring alongside Houston in the musical drama are Grammy® nominated and platinum recording artist Jordin Sparks (“American Idol” winner, Season 6), Derek Luke (Antwone Fisher, Captain America: The First Avenger), Mike Epps (Jumping the Broom, Friday After Next), Carmen Ejogo (I, Alex Cross, Pride and Glory), Tika Sumpter (What’s Your Number?, “Gossip Girl”), Omari Hardwick (Kick Ass, The A-Team) and Grammy® Award winner, Cee-Lo Green.

SPARKLE is being directed by Salim Akil (Jumping The Broom) from a screenplay written by Mara Brock Akil (“The Game”, “Girlfriends”) and produced by Debra Martin Chase (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Just Wright) along with Salim Akil, Mara Brock Akil, T.D. Jakes and Curtis Wallace (Jumping the Broom, Not Easily Broken). Whitney Houston is also Executive Producing along with Gaylyn Fraiche (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2), and Howard Rosenman (Sparkle, The Family Man). Original music provided by multi-Platinum and Grammy® Award-winning artist R. Kelly. “SPARKLE is a movie I have wanted to remake for a long time and I am so glad to finally see my wish come true and to be part of this stellar team of actors and producers,” said Houston.
