It will be released in the UK and Ireland on July 6. Watch the trailer below:
Whitney has been described as the “intimate, definitive account of the superstar’s life and career”, and promises “previously unreleased recordings, rare never-before-seen footage and live performances recorded by Houston at various stages her life, as well as original studio recordings and acapellas of some of the late singer’s greatest hits.”
The movie will chart the rise of Whitney's life as a gospel singer to an international superstar.
It will also include interviews with friends, family and collaborators, including producer Clive Davis, who is credited with discovering her as a youngster.
