I must say that Fox Searchlight has been making some interesting choices with casting over the last few weeks. First it was Lance and America and now it's Queen Latifah and Common. Searchlight has cast the two to star as love interest in the upcoming sports romancer "Just Wright," with Sanaa Hamri directing. Paula Patton has also been cast.
Latifah, Shakim Compere and Debra Martin Chase are producing. Shooting starts in mid-July in New York for a release next year.
Script, penned by Mike Elliot (Brown Sugar, Like Mike), revolves around a sports trainer who finds herself falling in love with a professional basketball player while rehabilitating him from a career-threatening injury.
This shall be interesting indeed...
