Angela Bassett has confirmed rumors that she's reuniting with Whitney Houston for a sequel to the 1995 film "Waiting to Exhale."
The hit romantic movie, about the love lives of four female friends in Phoenix, was a big-screen adaptation of Terry McMillan's 1992 book of the same name, and Bassett says the follow-up, based on the author's 2005 novel "Getting to Happy," is in the works.
She says the full original cast, including Loretta Devine and Lela Rochon, is on board for the upcoming project, which will see Forest Whitaker returning as director.
Speaking on "The Talk" on Thursday, Bassett said, "It's preliminary, but it's going to happen, 'Waiting to Exhale 2.' [McMillan] wrote 'Getting to Happy' and she's written the screenplay. ... Loretta, Lela, Whitney, Forest. Forest is working on the script now."
"Waiting to Exhale" was a critical and commercial success when it was released, boasting a global box-office haul of $81.45 million. It was also branded a "social phenomenon" by the Los Angeles Times for having an all-African-American cast.
