Before Whitney Houston died, she completed work on a remake of 1976's Sparkle -- and now, the world is getting their first look at her performance in the film.

Remembering Whitney Houston

The trailer features Whitney in fine form as a former star, now homemaker, watching her daughters rise up Hollywood's ladder. But each of those rungs presents new problems. Some of which, sadly, led to Whitney's untimely demise this February making lines like, "Was my life not enough of a cautionary tale for you" feel especially resonant.

Watch the Sparkle trailer above and see it in theaters this August
