According to MediaTakeOut.com, sources close to the project are saying that the casting crew are planning a major shakeup and want to snag Barbadian pop star, Rihanna for the film's leading role.
"The [Zendaya] backlash is huge. Either the network is going to have to replace her, or shut down production. Right now they're negotiating with Rihanna to play Aaliyah. And [Rihanna's] interested."
