Mariah Carey's anticipated film debut to be titled "Glitter"
The highly anticipated film debut of pop music superstar Mariah Carey will be called "Glitter",
matching the title of the singer's upcoming soundtrack album, Columbia TriStar Film Distributors
International (CTFDI) and Twentieth Century Fox announced today.
The film previously was known as "All That Glitters". Twentieth Century Fox and Columbia Pictures
co-financed the film and are splitting distribution rights, with Fox taking domestic and CTFDI
holding international rights.
Carey's first single from the soundtrack, "Loverboy", is already the No. 1 most added record at
radio in the United States. The song features a hook from Cameo's 1985 smash hit "Candy", and
enlists Cameo's own Larry Blackmon and Thomas Jenkins. Coproduced by DJ Clark Kent, the track
also features rappers Ludacris and Da Brat, and has been remixed by producers David Morales and
MJ Cole. The star-studded video "Loverboy", recently shot in Los Angeles by acclaimed producer
David Lachapelle, features cameos by Da Brat, Ludacris and Cameo.
The feature film, directed by Vondie Curtis-Hall and set against the backdrop of the New York
club scene in the early 1980s, is the story of a young singer, Billie Frank (Carey), who overcomes
a turbulent childhood and struggles to find her true family and her true voice.
"Glitter" costars Max Beesley ("The Match"), Terrence Howard ("Big Momma's House"), rap artist
Da Brat, Tia Texada ("Bait", "Nurse Betty"), Ann Magnuson ("Love & Sex", "Making Mr. Right", "The
Best Man"), Dorian Harewood ("12 Angry Men", "Full Metal Jacket"), Tony Award-nominated
singer-actress Valarie Pettiford ("Fosse") and recording artist Eric Benet.
The film is produced by Laurence Mark ("Jerry Maguire", "Finding Forrester"), and is coproduced
by E. Bennett Walsh ("Boiler Room"). The screenplay is by Kate Lanier ("What's Love Got to Do
With It?"), from a story by Cheryl L. West. The creative production team includes director of
photography Geoffrey Simpson, A.S.C. ("Life", "Shine"), production designer Dan Bishop ("My First
Mister", "Lone Star"), costume designer Joseph G. Aulisi ("Charlie's Angels", "Stepmom"), editor
Jeff Freeman, A.C.E. ("Cruel Intentions", "The Waterdance"), composer Terence Blanchard, music
supervisor Robin Urdang ("Introducing Dorothy Dandridge", "A Midsummer Night's Dream") and
choreographer Neisha Folkes ("Why Do Fools Fall in Love", "Rosewood"). Carey also serves as the
film's executive music producer, with music by the renowned team of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis,
and Big Jim Wright.
