Call this the type of chick flick where the boyfriends get to see some hoop sports action and where the ladies get to see a built basketball player. Originally Disney had bought the pitch back in 2003 but somehow the project with the long attached Queen Latifah was picked up in turnaround via Fox Searchlight who have a film that they might be looking to have a slam dunk with the African American demo. Sanaa Hamri - the Something New and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 director has come on board to direct and former rapper, tall and well built Common has also joined the project set to begin filming mid-July in New York and which Variety reports will be released next year.
A modern-day retelling of Cinderella written by Michael Elliot, this sees Latifah (Janice Wright) play the princess in a modern-day retelling of Cinderella set in the world of pro basketball. A woman physical therapist is drafted by an all-star basketball player (Common) to move in and help him recover from a career-threatening injury. The hoop star begins to fall for his therapist...making this your typical rom com.

Reviews
Review: Spring Fever
A heavily flawed film that does a disservice to its quintet of characters by abruptly ending each character's final chapter before it even begins making Spring Fever a film that never manages to find itself. Audiences who've followed his past efforts such as Purple Butterfly and Summer Palace will be puzzled by erotica without reason, by the undefined terms in which the characters are set in and the lack of dramatic focus.
Interviews
Interview: Amir Bar-Lev (The Tillman Story)
Pat has a very wide appeal and people who admire him come from different parts of ideological spectrum. So we didn't want to alienate a part of our audience because the film is about Pat more than anything. So we wanted to invite everybody to the dialogue of what actually happened to him and the country at the time.
Festivals
