Director Bille Woodruff (Honey, Beauty Shop) is set to deliver a new biopic of Florence Ballard played by R&B verteran Faith Evans. Ballard was the original lead singer of The Supremes before being overshadowed by Diana Ross. Although it seems her true story has been insinuated in the film Sparkle and hit Broadway musical Dreamgirls, this film’s screenplay has been adapted by Karen Spencer and Roy Fegan from Peter Benjaminson’s book The Lost Supreme.

Entitled Blondie, the film will uncover the “shocking details of Florence’s life from her moments of joy and success to her devastating betrayal and the actual cause of her premature death at the young age of 32.” It’s rumored that Soul Train Awards 2010 host Taraji P. Henson has been offered the role of Diana Ross but has yet to sign on.
