Starring none other than Jennifer Hudson (the actress was personally endorsed by <em>the <\/em>Aretha Franklin to play the character before her death), the film&#8217;s first look appears to be as much about music as it is about fashion.<\/p>\n<p>The film will follow Franklin&#8217;s rise to stardom from a child singing in her father\u2019s church\u2019s choir to international acclaim. As expected (and perhaps so much better than first anticipated) the trailer throws a spectacular lens on &#8217;50s and &#8217;60s style. Think cinched-waists, a-line skirt, high neckline and glamorous embellishments. Very Dior-<em>esque<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"RESPECT - Official Trailer (Universal Pictures)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ifRBct4P8Tk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The stunning production will form as director Liesl Tommy&#8217;s feature film debut.
