Rihanna says she would love to portray Whitney Houston in a biopic because she was inspired by the late singer when she was younger. \"My first song that I remember falling in love with was a Whitney Houston song, I Will Always Love You. It was really inspiring, and it made me develop a passion for music, so really she\'s partly responsible for me being here in this industry,\" contactmusic.com quoted Rihanna as saying. \"That would be something that I would have to give my entire life to do, because I would really want to pull it off. That\'s a huge, huge role and whoever does it has to do a good job.\" Rihanna plays a weapons specialist in Battleship, her first major movie role, releasing April 19. She says she could do a comedy movie. \"I want to try different roles — maybe a comedy next, or who knows. I like sarcastic, dry humour. I love movies like Superbad and Pineapple Express,\" she said.
