Sparkle Remake in the Works


Girlfriends and The Game co-creator Mara Brock Akil and husband director Salim Akil are partnering with Sony Pictures to remake the 70s film Sparkle...

Mara will write the script and Salim will direct. No word on who will be cast or when shooting will start.

Sparkle is the story of three sisters trying to make it out of the ghetto through the music industry. The original version starred Lonette McKee, Irene Cara and Phillip Michael Thomas.
