If B.I.G. can do it, well then I guess so can Aaliyah. As WoooHa reported back in December, singer Keisha Chante secured the role of Aaliyah for an upcoming biopic. Rumors originally had it that the movie was going to be small budget but things have changed. Bill Condon, director of the Beyonce and J-Hud movie Dreamgirls and writer of the movie Chicago is now attached to the film. What does this mean for the project? It means it’s going to be a big time legit movie.
Condon is a VERY powerful man in Hollywood who is also known to attract bigtime talent to his projects. According to Bossip, Condon has already secured Timbaland, Ginuwine and Missy E. to appear in the film and play themselves. Even Hype Williams is on board to recreate Aaliyah’s final video shoot.
Meanwhile Condon has put Chante through some rigorous training. He states:
“We are going to great extremities to make this movie perfect. We have (Keisha) Chante in extensive… …training studying, speaking with family members, watching personal footage and in choreography training with Aaliyah’s choreographer and dear friend Fatima Robinson. This movie will will be seamless the same way it was for Selena fans who enjoyed Jennifer Lopez.”
No word yet on name of the movie or when it will start filming but just writing about it is making me miss that girl and “Rock the Boat.” Peace. Let’s just hope R. Kelly doesn’t make an appearance.

Keisha Chante is perfect for this role and i can't wait to see it I hope that Damian dash make a appearence in this movie as well.
FOR REAL SHE DOESNT LOOK CLOSE TO AALIYAH….I LOVE AALIYAH AND IF THEY ARE GOING TO DO THIS DO IT RIGHT….THINGS LIKE THIS SHOULD BE TOOKEN SERIOUSLY
i look more lik her than keisha
fuck all yall fake bitches..
if u a real fan u would not be saying all that stuff.
im a real fan of Aaliyah and i miss her so bad and i think this movie will be great.
when i seen keisha i thot she was not the right one to play Aaliyah but after seening her more and seeing her sing and stuff like that i thot she was great for the part.
now yall need to stop and if u love Aaliyah u should give keisha a chance. and when all yall go see the movie yall goin to cry and fall in love. so quit wit all that..love u Aaliayh R.I.P:) cant wait to your movie come out.
Go keisha LOL
Keisha sorry, she good n all (for Canada), but she better not bring what she had in Canada to the states into this angel’s movie! Only in one interview she kinda looked like Aaliyah cause her hair was over her face! But thats kinda like that with everyone. Keisha look more like a combo of Cassie, the main girl from Cherish and Brooke Valentine. Ashanti would of been a great choice to play Aaliyah. Even that Destiny Lightsy girl would of been better lookin. C’mon now, give babygirl the role SHE would of wanted in her biopic, someone good, someone admiring of Aaliyah, someone who can act and sing and dance and BE Aaliyah for real.
i just look more lik her than keisha, too.
I think lisa Tucker from American Idol would be better suited, check her outhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngAUCGlJDUI

Calling us fake Bitches Because we have our own opinions. Meschach grow up looser.They could have done better.An open casting call would have been great. Just like the movie Selena.Lisa Tucker looks more like her.I also heard they are trying Lujza Abylane a theater actress from New York city.Now she looks like Aaliyah!
Everyone keeps Talking about Lujza Abylane playing Aaliyah in the movie.I was out with one of my friend who works for Miramax films . and he said they are thinking about 4 girls doing the movie.Lisa tucker,Kesha chante,Another unknown ,and Lujza Abylane.So its not just a rumour.I heard Lujza looks alot like Aaliyah /
