Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson has completed filming her role as Aretha Franklin in ‘Respect,’ the biographical film based on the late legend’s life. J-Hud had some words to say after what was, for her, the finalization of a powerful film. One of the film’s producers, Harvey Mason Jr., spent countless hours with Aretha Franklin discussing Respect, the movie about her life, as well as about the stories and music that she felt needed to be included. There was a lot of discussion about a lot of people, but Aretha was adamant that it be Jennifer Hudson play her in the movie. Mason was speaking with the Queen of Soul about the film right up to a week before her passing. “It was my honor, to honor the Queens request ! The one and only Queen of soul #ArethaFranklin#respectMovie@liesltommy,” Jennifer said.
