Reasons behind not including Whitney Houston's untimely death in upcoming biopic revealed

Director Angela Bassett recently revealed the reasons behind not including Whitney Houston's untimely tragic death in the upcoming biopic.

The 56-year-old said that doesn't even want to go there, partly for logistical reasons, since it's a TV movie and not a full-length feature, the Washington Post reported.

Bassett wanted to focus the movie on the love story between Houston and her ex-husband, Bobby Brown. The public heard about their tortured relationship, involving domestic abuse and drug addiction, but Bassett said it's important to remember that it started much differently.

In February 2012, the night before the Grammy Awards, Houston was found dead in a hotel bathtub; the cause of death was listed as drowning, heart disease and cocaine use.
