We’ve heard the news of YaYa DaCosta taking on the role of Whitney Houston in Lifetime’s upcoming television biopic. Now, director Angela Bassett has settled on her Bobby Brown.

Arlen Escarpeta who stared in “Final Destination 5” and “We Are Marshall” has been cast to play the R&B bad boy in I Will Always Love You: The Whitney Houston Story.

The film chronicles the tumultuous relationship between Houston and Brown– from when they first met through their courtship and during their rocky marriage.

“I have such regard for both Whitney’s and Bobby’s amazing talents and accomplishments, and I feel a responsibility in the telling of their story,” Bassett said upon news of the film. “Their humanity and bond fascinates us all. I’m beyond excited to have this opportunity to go behind the camera and into their world.”

I Will Always Love You is set to premiere in 2015.
