Halle Berry not in Franklin biopic

Late last year, the soul legend revealed she was working with movie bosses to adapt her autobiography Aretha: From These Roots into a movie, with the singer naming Halle Berry as her favourite to star.
Franklin, who has been recovering from an undisclosed illness over the last few months, has now confirmed the project is no longer just a dream and will be rolling into production very soon.
In a phone interview with The Wendy Williams Show, Franklin says, "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. Now, we have something on the table. They have all of the financing on one project... (and are) in the process of writing things for me to approve... Halle Berry is my pick... There's a young Aretha that has yet to be named."
But Berry has spoken out to dismiss rumours she's been lined up to play Franklin, insisting she wouldn't be able to tackle such a musical role. She tells E! Online, "If I could carry a tune, I'd consider it. Someone should tell Aretha that I can't do her justice."
I don't see why Halle can't mime to Aretha's original tracks , like she has in other movies ~ Halle_Berry_Fan
