Is that a picture of herself?

So according to Barry Hankerson, the movie is set to be released on Aug 25 th and Keisha Chante got the part. His Twitter is full of info on this.

i hope they do this film right and do justice too Aaliyah. I dont want this to damage her reputation or anything.

Keshia doesn't even look like her... not even a bit

She is gorgeous.

It figures she would get the part. She's been trying to get the role for a while now. She does look her when she has Aaliyah's hairstyle. Watch her old music videos.

I hope they include everyting

They need to have Missy, Dame Dash, R.Kelly, and Timbaland on set because they really know her.

Congrats.

I hope the movie is good tea.

Not surprised at her getting casted.

Hope she went through some hardcore dance lessons
