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: Kill List
"As the film crosses over into frenetic violence and foreboding happenings, the excellent soundtrack heightens the tension. When Jay begins to lose his cool, anxiety gives way to despair as events finally spiral out of control. Wheatley manages to get excellent performances from his cast, in particular the stunning MyAnna Buring as Jay’s wife, and proves he’s one of the best upcoming voices in British cinema."
Interviews
Interview: Daniel Mulloy (Baby)
Brit Daniel Mulloy is an award-winning short filmmaker (over 80 fest awards folks) who belongs to both the extended Sundance filmmaking family and a celluloid loving family of his own -- we've featured his sister Lucy and her debut film, Una Noche which is headed off to Berlin next month. We've been keeping tabs on the helmer since 2006's "Antonio’s Breakfast," and it was last year where I got to speak to Mulloy about what should be the last of a string of shorts, before he embarks on the feature filmmaking portion of his career.
