And since it's a Lifetime movie it will be high on drama and follow the tumultuous relationship between Houston and Bobby Brown from their first meeting to Houston's rise to fame.

Let's just hope she doesn't talk to the ghost of her older self in this one.

We're side-eying you Lifetime's Anna Nicole!

Said Bassett (a friend and co-star of Houston's) about her directorial debut, "I have such regard for both Whitney's and Bobby's amazing talents and accomplishments; and I feel a responsibility in the telling of their story. Their humanity and bond fascinates us all. I'm beyond excited to have this opportunity to go behind the camera and into their world."
