Whitney Houston won’t be around to witness the fanfare for the upcoming remake of Sparkle.

But if the trailer is any indication of what’s in store, it should be one of the summer’s hits at the box office. The trailer for the remake debuted on NBC’s “Today” show on Monday. It shows how Sparkle (Jordan Sparks) and her sisters try to make a go of it as an all-girl singing group, following in their mother’s (Houston’s) musical footsteps.

The TriStar remake of the 1976 Supremes-inspired flick marks Houston’s first return to movie She hoped the movie would have fueled a comeback but she died a sudden death in a bathtub in February at age 48.
