The first trailer for the Aretha Franklin biopic RESPECT has dropped.
The almost minute-long trailer finds Jennifer Hudson portraying the iconic singer and offering a rousing rendition of one of her most well-known hits, “Respect.”
Accompanying the trailer is a brief synopsis of the forthcoming film, which reads: “Following the rise of Aretha Franklin’s career from a child singing in her father’s church’s choir to her international superstardom, RESPECT is the remarkable true story of the music icon’s journey to find her voice.”
