The rise to stardom, or more specifically rags-to-riches tale, is one sub-genre that can make most film fans feel all all warm and fuzzy inside. The beginning of shows like POP IDOL and THE X FACTOR have since made the idea that any ordinary Joe, can make their dreams come true. Oscar-winning musical-drama DREAMGIRLS, was the last film do the idea any justice, along with hit biopics RAY and WALK THE LINE. Now may just have another, in the form of the 1960s-set SPARKLE. THN brings you the new trailer, poster design as well as a new collection of images from the film that is released 5th October.
Directed by Salim Akil, SPARKLE will chronicle the rise of a group of three singing sisters, and the problems both stardom and being part of the same family brings. The film stars Jordin Sparks, Mike Epps, Carmen Ejogo, Cee-Lo Green, Derek Luke and the late singing superstar, Whitney Houston.
