Fantasia’s Lead Role in Mahalia Jackson Biopic to Begin Filming in Fall
The theatrical biopic of famed gospel singer Mahalia Jackson who will be portrayed by R&B singer Fantasia has been invited to be screened at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.
The film, based on the book Got To Tell It: Mahalia Jackson, Queen of Gospel, is still in pre-production stages but has already gotten a nod to premiere at next year’s Cannes.
“They’ve offered for us to do a screening there,” said executive producer Adrian Taylor. “We can either enter it as competition, or we can have it in the non-competition and premiere it, if it’s edited. It’s got to be ready by April 6 for next year’s Cannes.”

In court recently, American Idol winner Fantasia asked the judge for privacy from this point on in the case of her married ex-boyfriend Antwaun Cook and his wife Paula Cook. 
You are probably wondering what we mean by that. Well, nothing bad has happened to her but her absence is being questioned. If you keep up with the 2nd season of “Fantasia For Real” that’s being aired now on Vh1.com, then you might be asking yourself the same question.
