Directed by Kasi Lemmons, I Wanna Dance With Somebody is a “powerful and triumphant celebration of the incomparable Whitney Houston,” per Sony Pictures. The film takes audiences through Houston’s emotional journey from New Jersey choir girl to one of the most prolific recording artists of all time.

I Wanna Dance With Somebody was written by Oscar-nominated Bohemian Rhapsody screenwriter, Anthony McCarte, and produced by Clive Davis. “It hit home,” Davis told Billboard late last year. “It’s realistic. Scenes between Whitney and me, obviously, were emotionally impactful, from the time we first met to going through the musical, personal relationship we had, the more difficult times in dealing with her problems. I think the film is very accurate in its portrayal of the dialogues we had.”
