CANNES: Lady Gaga’s publicist issued a statement on Friday, saying the singer will not be playing Cilla Black in a biopic about Dionne Warwick.
“Lady Gaga is not attached to this project,” her publicist told Variety.
Media reports said earlier that Gaga and Destiny’s Child alum LeToya Luckett will star as Warwick in a planned biopic of the R&B singer. The 75-year-old Warwick was in Cannes on Friday to announce the project. The film, based on Warwick’s memoir “My Life As I See It,” will focus on the years 1962 through 1968.
The five-time Grammy winner’s hits include “Say a Little Prayer” and “That’s What Friends Are For.” AMBI Pictures will produce. The recently launched AMBI, founded by Italian producer Andrea Iervolino, made headlines earlier this year when it claimed to be distributing a movie starring the Pope.
