Who directed the 2001 film "Glitter", starring Mariah Carey?

Vondie Curtis-Hall directed the 2001 film Glitter, starring Mariah Carey.

The film is a romantic musical drama about Billie Frank, an aspiring singer whose career develops with help from nightclub DJ Julian “Dice” Black. Carey plays Billie, while Max Beesley portrays Dice and Terrence Howard plays music producer Timothy Walker. The cast also includes Da Brat and Tia Texada.

Glitter began as a project titled All That Glitters. Carey had been developing the film and its soundtrack since 1997, but production was delayed while she handled other commitments. Filming eventually took place in Toronto and New York in late 2000, and the title was shortened to Glitter before release.

A common mix-up is confusing the director with the film’s lead performer. Carey starred in the movie and contributed heavily to its soundtrack, but Curtis-Hall handled the direction. The film was released by 20th Century Fox on September 21, 2001, shortly after the soundtrack arrived.
