That's a good casting, visually. Hope it's a good movie.

Why cant keke palmer, teyana taylor, tatylor parks, or cymphonique williams do it?

Lauren London should play her

^ none of the people above looks like Aaliyah besides Chante who should be casted.

Me toooo.... I've always wanted Keshia Chante to play the role.. But I heard Actress Kylie Bunbury got the role... and i must admit she the resemblance is crazy !

Right i don't want none of them.

i don't see if for ha

i'm just SCREAMING at sis saying cymphonique williams tho is he OKAY?

queen zendaya should play her tbh

They will never find anyone that looks just like her. So far the names I've seen here don't even come close to her beauty

This is like Keke's dream role but she's a tad too dark to play her plus no resemblance.

Because they can't

Maybe a younger version of her.

But we haven't seen her act in it yet !

Here for this. Regardless of the casting, this is yet another opportunity for people to be reminded of or introduced to Aaliyah's music and legacy.

They should let Keisha Chante do it. She looks the most similar and they have similar body types and it would be easier to fix her up to look like Aaliyal. Look at Lil Mama she looked nothing like Left Eye but with the right makeup etc.. she did

The only other person that I would cast for this is that girl Jennifer from BGC.....but I dount they'd cast her to play Aaliyah...

Idk it's not hard to cast an Aaliyah role tbh, just find a very slim slighty tall light skinned black girl with amazing lips. then they can fix her up from there

I was about to rush in here to say that Jenn looks so much like her.

That's a damn lie that's like saying anyone can play Rih, Aaliyah had a distinct beauty about her.

They should get Rihanna to do it. They both have the style and body type, I think Rih could pull it off
