After making her major acting debut on "American Horror Story: Hotel", Lady GaGa is now heading to the big screen. The Mother Monster is signed on for a Dionne Warwick biopic along with fellow singer LeToya Luckett.

The Destiny's Child alum is announced to play the iconic singer while the "Born This Way" hitmaker is expected to portray her rival, the late Cilla Black. Danny Glover will play Warwick's father, Mansel Warwick, and Olympia Dukakis will play her mentor, Marlene Dietrich.

Editors' Pick

The movie announced at Cannes will be based on the singer's 2010 book "My Life, As I See It: An Autobiography," focusing on Warwick's early career and her rivalry with Black. "She stole my songs," Warwick said of her bad blood with the British singer. "I was not a very happy camper about that." Mario Van Peebles ("New Jack City") is eyed to direct the pic.
