Glitter is a 2001 American romantic musical drama film written by Kate Lanier and directed by Vondie Curtis-Hall. It stars Mariah Carey, Max Beesley, and Terrence Howard. Carey plays Billie Frank, an aspiring singer who, along with her friends Louise and Roxanne, is a club dancer. Music producer Timothy Walker (Howard) offers them a contract as backup singers/dancers to another singer. At the premiere of the song they record, Billie meets Julian "Dice" Black (Beesley), a nightclub DJ who helps establish her solo career. In the process, Billie and Dice fall in love.

Production

In late 1997, Carey began work on the project under the working title All That Glitters, but the project was put on hold due to Columbia Records' requests to release a compilation album to capitalize on the 1998 holiday season. #1's was released in November 1998. Despite this, Carey continued working on All That Glitters, but wished to fulfill her contract with Columbia Records, which had her signed for one more album.

Following this departure, Carey signed a US$100 million record deal with Virgin Records (EMI Records) in April 2001. The record label gave Carey full conceptual and creative control over the project. It was announced that All That Glitters would take place in 1983, with the sound of its soundtrack following the theme through a modernized version of the 1980s sound.

We start the movie and we see little Billie and her mom singing, and we realize there's a dysfunction going on and her mom's unstable. She gets taken away from her mother and ends up in a foster home. Then, we meet her two friends, Louise and Roxanne, who are played by Da Brat and Tia Texada. They're her extended family. It's Billie's journey to understand why she feels abandoned by her mother. ... That's what drives her to want to sing.

Principal photography for All That Glitters began in New York City and Toronto in August 2000 and was expected to wrap up in late September with a planned release in March 2001. Later that month, Eric Benét was cast as a character named Caesar after filming had already begun. The original screenplay, which was already finished, was rewritten several times on set during production and was often abandoned completely in favor of improvisation.
