Tucci is set to portray the role of legendary music producer Clive Davis, who was the one that guided Houston throughout her music career.
Following the recent addition of Ashton Sanders as Bobby Brown, Deadline brings word that Oscar nominee Stanley Tucci (The Lovely Bones) has officially signed on to join Naomi Ackie in TriStar Pictures’ upcoming Whitney Houston biopic, I Wanna Dance With Somebody.
