So this is a thing now.
>RESPECT, Aretha Franklin biopic starring Jennifer Hudson.

>ELVIS, starring Austin Butler as Elvis and Tom Hanks as Colonel Tom Parker.
>BERNSTEIN, Leonard Bernstein biopic directed and starring Bradley Cooper.

>Marianne Faithful biopic starring Lucy Boynton.
>Teddy Pendergrass biopic starring Tyrese Gibson.
