Halle Berry will play the Queen of Soul

Halle Berry is going to fulfill Aretha Franklin's dreams!  Aretha just confirmed that Ms. Berry will be playing her in a movie about... Her.

Franklin broke the news on the 'Wendy Williams Show' on Thursday, saying that after years of potential deals, the film about her illustrious life is finally getting made.

"For the last four years, we've been talking about [the film], and I have had a number of offers. Unfortunately, they were not good offers," she told the host (via MTV). "Now, we have something on the table. They have all of the financing on one project and the second project, and he's in the process of writing things for me to approve on the tele-film."

This should be very interesting to see. Honestly, I can't see Halle in this role, but who knows. She could rock it like Angela did with Tina Turner.
