It was announced today that the Season 3 winner of American Idol is starring as herself in the Lifetime Original Movie, 'Life Is Not a Fairy Tale: The Fantasia Barrino Story.'
Starting production in New Orleans on May 17 and aimed for an August premiere, the pic is being directed by Debbie Allen and will costar Loretta Devine (as Fantasia's grandmother), Viola Davis (as her mother) and Kadeem Hardison (as her dad, making me feel really old).
"Fantasia made America fall in love with her through her astounding voice, but few people know the obstacles she went through to get where she is now," previews Lifetime exec Trevor Walton.

The anointing on Fantasia's life during AI3 is on this Lifetime production. In sharing and editing this story in post-production, IF the God of amazing Grace, who lifted Fantasia Barrino, is duly lifted, the film will be an incredibly moving engaging story.
