* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: The rights to the remake were bought by Whitney Houston's production company in the mid 90s, and Music/{{Aaliyah}} was intended as the lead. However, after Aaliyah's death in a plane crash in 2001, the film was not produced. In 2011, Mara Brock Akil and Salim Akil, the producers of ''Film/JumpingTheBroom'' and ''Series/{{Girlfriends}}'', took on ''Sparkle'' as their next project (with Jordin Sparks in the lead and Houston as her mother) and filming ended in November 2011. The movie was released on August 17, 2012 (sadly, Houston had passed away earlier that year).
