We got the chance to speak with Megan Good and Pooch Hall who are currently on a promotional tour in Atlanta for their upcoming film Jumping The Broom/meet and greet at Clark Atlanta University. Megan was ab open book and allowed us to ask her any question about her life. One question we were all eager to know was if the allegations of her wanting to play the late great Aaliyah was true. The Aaliyah Warner Brothers Films was going to start filming a year ago a biopic based on Aaliyah’s life. The film will be directed by Bill Condon, the director behind the award-winning blockbuster, Dreamgirls. Canadian singer and former girlfriend of highly popular rapper Drake, Keshia Chanté (pictured below) is set to play the late singer.
The film is also reported to carry an impressive $80 million production budget and is set for a national release date for some time next year. At this time, it is unknown if Aaliyah’s boyfriend at the time of her death, co-founder of Rocafella Records and owner of multimedia compound and art gallery DD172, Damon Dash will partake in the film. Dash and Aaliyah had plans to wed at the time of her death.
Good reveals that it’s one of her dreams and would be a great honor if she were given the opportunity. She also tells us she spoke to the family about it and they are up for it but the issue of her death is still very sensitive for their family at this time.
