Halle Berry Says She Hasn’t Signed on For Aretha Franklin Biopic

According to EUR WEB:

Working the Golden Globes red carpet, Halle Berry was bombarded with questions about her reported starring role in an Aretha Franiklin biopic. Apparently – it’s not a done deal.

There were reports last week that the Queen of Soul herself confirmed the casting after months of stating publicly that Berry was her first choice.  But the Oscar winner’s responses on Sunday made it seem as though she had yet to sign a contract.

She told E! News’ Ryan Seacrest: “I can’t sing! If I could carry a tune, I’d consider it. Someone should tell Aretha that I can’t do her justice.”

Berry told “Access Hollywood’s” Shaun Robinson the same thing.

“Somebody needs to tell ReRe I can’t sing,” Berry said. “Now if she’s gonna do the singing for me, I’m up for the challenge.  …You can’t play Aretha and not hold a tune. That’s me. So, if she wants to sing, I can do the acting and maybe it could happen. I would be honored beyond belief, honestly.
