Not content to croon out “Memory” in Cats<\/em> this weekend, Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson<\/a> has enchanted the internet with the teaser for her next movie: the Aretha Franklin biopic Respect.<\/em><\/p>\n

The film, which also stars Forest Whitaker, Marlon Wayans, Audra McDonald,<\/a> Mary J. Blige<\/a>, Marc Maron, Tate Donovan and Tituss Burgess<\/a>, follows Franklin’s rise from a church singer to, well, being Aretha Franklin, <\/em>international superstar. Singer Marianne Faithful once said Franklin had “the voice of God.” Beyonce Knowles has called Franklin her greatest inspiration.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Hudson was handpicked for the role by Franklin herself prior to her death in 2018. Respect,<\/em> directed by South African director Liesl Tommy in her feature film debut, hits theatres August 14, 2020.<\/p>\n
