This weekend's release of Sparkle will mark the final film for the recently deceased Whitney Houston. Posthumous film releases aren't too common, but there have been some fantastic films that hit theaters after a star's tragic death. Here are the Top 6:

The Deer Hunter (John Cazale) Cazale was in six films and all of them were nominated for Academy Awards for Best Picture. He was dying from terminal lung cancer during The Deer Hunter, but his girlfriend Meryl Streep and director Michael Cimino threatened to walk away from the film if the studio fired Cazale. Robert De Niro used his own m...

Justin Timberlake has shrugged off an injury he sustained on the set of his new movie, insisting his leg is not "irreversibly damaged".

The pop superstar hurt his calf while filming a stunt for upcoming sci-fi blockbuster Now last Wednesday.

The shoot was halted temporarily, but the singer/actor is said to have carried on working through the pain. Timberlake has now opened up about the injury and reveals he only has himself to blame for the accident.

He tells Entertainment Tonight, "My calf is... it's not that bad. It'll be fine. It's not irreversibly damaged... I was just on set and ...

Mark Wahlberg has been offered the lead role in a remake of cult 1994 film "The Crow," according to new Internet reports.

Singer-turned-scriptwriter Nick Cave is working on a screenplay for the film, which Stephen Norrington is slated to direct, according to BloodyDisgusting.com.

The original movie, which starred martial arts legend Bruce Lee's son Brandon as an undead avenger of his and his fiancee's murder, was marred by tragedy - Lee was accidentally shot and killed in North Carolina during filming.

With the Halloween fast approaching, Starpulse contributing writer Kris King is watching a horror movie that has passed him by for every day in October. This week Kris does the time warp with "Rocky Horror," gets turned into a pod person

with "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," and gets generally freaked out by "The Vanishing."

October 15 - The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

The culture behind "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" has always sort of lingered on the edge of my awareness. I knew it was there, I knew people liked it and I knew it involved dressing in drag and spanking each othe...

A director getting the optimum performance out of an actor is not unlike a coach getting a great performance out of an athlete. One has to use the right guy in the right scene with expert timing. These are situations where one could film countless scenes of all different kinds, and getting laughs so big with these athletes would seem impossible - they're almost perfect. Remember, the fellas on this list appear here because they got the biggest laughs, not because they were the best actors or in the best movies. While Something About Mary is a funnier and better movie than many on this l...

Actress Natasha Richardson's unexpected death in a skiing accident late last month stunned and saddened the public. The usually overzealous media even seemed to tread lightly, gently reporting a story it never expected to tell. For a culture that values and admires celebrity, the death of vibrant public figures with potential yet to fulfill serves as a harsh reminder that despite glamour, talent and seemingly charmed lives, all of us are mortal. Whether on screens big or small, over the radio airwaves or in bright vivid color on canvas, the sudden passing of an entertainer can feel like the...

The prospect of a Green Hornet film seems cursed. Christopher McQuarrie was writing a script in 2000 which had Jet Li attached as Kato. Then the surprise of comedian Kevin Smith writing and directing stalled with an unproduced script. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg have been touting their script since SuperBad, but their first choice director, Stephen Chow, backed out.

Now, with yet another avant-garde twist, Green Hornet is still buzzing. "Michel Gondry is going to direct it," Rogen updated. "Me and Evan are in the process of rewriting it with him right now. We should start shooting it...

BEIJING (AP) - Bruce Lee is getting a belated hero's welcome in China, with the country's state broadcaster set to air a 50-part prime-time series on the late kung fu star.

Lee became a chest-thumping source of nationalistic pride to Chinese around the world with his characters who defended the Chinese against oppressors in a series of movies in the early 1970s. But his influence wasn't felt immediately in China, which was then a closed communist country.

Lee's films started surfacing in China on video in the 1980s — years after his death in 1973 from swelling of the brain.

There's a pet cause for every celebrity in Hollywood. But one of the biggest stars of the last 30 years is championing a cause somehow overlooked by the glitterati of New York and L.A. It's slavery -- and the unlikely anti-slavery champion is Chuck Norris.

In his latest exclusive column for WorldNetDaily on Mon, Feb 26, Norris talks about how we can free those enslaved today. While the 200th anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the UK will soon be celebrated around the world, slavery has mushroomed, as there are now over 27 million people in bondage worldwide.

Hollywood actor Steven Seagal claims he a victim of jealousy and that rival action stars are constantly copying his work.

The Under Siege star doesn't name names, but insists the industry is rife with bitterness and envy.

He says, "There's one boy who once tried to do stuff with Bruce Lee. And there's another person out there who's always tried to copy me. I think among the real professionals there's camaraderie, but with the others there is jealousy."

Martial arts superstar Bruce Lee is set to be the subject of a new Broadway, New York City, musical featuring music provided by David Bowie. Theatre bosses want the show to be ready to premiere in 2008.

According to Variety.com, Tony Award-winner David Henry Hwang has been hired to write the musical and Matthew Wachus is reportedly onboard to direct.
