TORONTO — A TV movie about the late R&B singer Aaliyah will be shot in Toronto, Global News has learned.
Cameras are scheduled to roll on the biopic, tentatively titled One In a Million, later this summer.
The independent project will be based out of Dufferin Gate Productions. According to some reports, it is set to air later this year on U.S. cable channel VH1.
Producers have not announced who will be cast in the title role but sources said Canadian singer Keshia Chanté is a likely choice.
A rep for the Ottawa-born singer could not be reached but late last month Chanté seemed to confirm on Twitter that she had auditioned for the role.
