Just last week we were gawking at the hot shots of one of my top five R&B divas Toni Braxton and how freaking awesome she is looking (as always but specifically on tour) and now this week we have some news on an upcoming project centered around the iconic performer.
Toni’s life and career in the music industry has played out like a movie and now apparently there are plans to actually take her story to the small screen in a new biopic that is in the works.
According to Roger Friedman of Showbiz 411 the Lifetime network is preparing the film– tentatively titled ‘Unbreak My Heart: The Toni Braxton Story’ and will pull its juicy details from the singer’s recent memoir ‘Unbreak My Heart’ as its key source. Vondie Curtis Hall has been tapped to direct. According to the report:
Braxton’s movie is based on her autobiography. Her story has lot of triumphs and sadness including #1 hits and two personal bankruptcies. She had a recent comeback once again with an album of duets with Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds. Her movie will feature Edmonds, LA Reid, Reid’s first wife Pebbles, and Braxton’s singing sisters.
No word yet on who will play Toni. Maybe she’ll play herself!
