Jennifer Hudson as Aretha Franklin?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17600795/

Will Jennifer Hudson play Aretha Franklin? There's a good chance she will. The R&B sensation said that she is ready for a movie to be made about her life, and that Jennifer Hudson was one of the names discussed. And, unless you're Katharine McPhee in "Wonder Woman", if people publically release that you MIGHT be playing a role, then you probably WILL be playing that role. And if she gets it and does a good job with it, she could easily get another nomination. And if she gets another nomination, then she'll be able to have a career without being referred to as "Effie" for the rest of her life (Jennifer Holliday, you had your chance!). Hudson really is a good choice. I hope they go through with this.

Me too. I loved Jennifer Hudson in "Dreamgirls" and I think doing the Aretha Franklin would do wonders for her career. Here's hoping it all goes through

I think that could be really great for her, maybe another oscar nomination and win?
