Homeboy, Queen Latifah will star in the romantic comedy "Just Wright" for Fox Searchlight.
Project had been set up six years ago at Disney but was put into turnaround and picked up by Searchlight.
Dubbed a modern-day Cinderella tale, story centers on a female physical therapist who falls in love with a basketball player (played by Queen Latifah, OK so I threw that part in), while helping him recover from a career-threatening injury.
Searchlight, which recently teamed with Latifah on "The Secret Life of Bees," is eyeing a late May start date.
Latifah and her Flavor Unit partner Shakim Compere are producing alongside Debra Martin Chase.
Film marks the second romantic comedy that Latifah has toplined. Paramount's "Last Holiday" was her previous foray into the genre.
Love Me some Queens...but not necessary Latfah and definitely not in a Romantic Comedy it doesn't work especially since we all know she has a Girlfriend. But whatever ...You Go Boy!!
