She\u2019s the first Black woman ever nominated for a Tony award for Best Direction of a Play in 2016 for <em>Eclipsed<\/em>, and is an Associate Artist at the Berkeley Rep and an Artist Trustee with the Sundance Institute\u2019s Board of Trustees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got a phone call from the studio and they asked me to give a take on it,\u201d Tommy <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/jennifer-hudson-arethea-franklin-movie-interview-respect\/\">said<\/a> in a previous interview. \u201cI sat with her music for a long time and did a little bit of research, but I\u2019ve loved her music since I was a small child. And a take came to me. Sometimes in this life, you open up your channels and your heart, and something came to me and it was very specific. It started with the church and it finished with the church. It was her journey to superstardom. That was a time frame that just felt like that\u2019s what it had to be. I pitched that to the studio. I pitched the journey of becoming Aretha Franklin as we know her, and all of the parts of her life that were so powerful \u2013 her faith, her relationship with her family, her journey from a person who sang standards to a person who sang her own music, finding that authentic voice. I pitched that story and they loved it, and that\u2019s the story that I shaped.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tommy added: \u201cI also felt strongly that we have been at the mercy of the white male gaze telling us who we are for a very long time. Because she always knew who she was and she always loved Black people, I felt like this movie was going to be about that, as well. It was going to be a movie where you could see all shapes, colors, dimensions, and nuance of this Black woman, and not just somebody strong, somebody sassy, and not all the things that we\u2019ve been that we\u2019re told is the only part of us that\u2019s interesting. She can be fragile, she can be scared, she can be unsure, and she can be strong, she can be powerful and she can be intimidating, but she\u2019s a human being and a woman who had so much to her. That was the part I was interested in, that complexity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Respect<\/em>\u00a0story comes from <strong>Callie Khouri<\/strong> and<strong> Tracey Scott Wilson<\/strong>, with Wilson writing the screenplay.<\/p>\n<p><em>Respect<\/em> was originally supposed to be a Christmas 2020 release, but the pandemic delayed the film.
