Whitney Houston's “Waiting to Exhale” costar Angela Bassett will direct a Lifetime movie about the singer, the network said Thursday.

The movie, scheduled for a 2015 premiere, will chronicle the headline-making relationship between Houston and Bobby Brown — from the time they first met at the very height of their celebrity, to their courtship and tumultuous marriage.

Throughout it all, difficulties followed the superstar couple while they dealt with the overwhelming rewards and consequences of the fame and fortune created by Whitney's meteoric rise that would soon overshadow them both.

“I have such regard for both Whitney's and Bobby's amazing talents and accomplishments; and I feel a responsibility in the telling of their story,” said Bassett, who recently starred in FX's “American Horror Story: Coven.”

“Their humanity and bond fascinates us all. I'm beyond excited to have this opportunity to go behind the camera and into their world.”

For a second there I thought Angela would be playing Whitney in the movie

She would've had Tina AND Whitney under her belt

Woo

They better cast this right

I thought Rihanna was gonna play Whitney Was that a lie?

Vivica for Whitney and Derek Luke for Bobby !!

Goodnight.

Lifetime tho

Whitney deserved more than a Lifetime movie though

Who could even play her?

This can turn out to be really messy (i.e TLC). Especially with Bobby still alive. Either way, its a much watch

!!!!!

Lifetime?

I predict Pat Houston will have a producer credit and will try to push herself as a major character
