Queen Latifah is headed back to the big screen.
The 47-year-old is set to star in the upcoming inspirational film, ‘Hope’s Wish’, Deadline reports.

Based on a true story, the film centers 12-year-old Hope Stout and how she once turned her pain into purpose.

After being diagnosed with a bone cancer, Stout embarks on a mission to fund the wishes of nearly 155 other children. However, along the way, she gains the help of Make-A-Wish Foundation executive Toni Dubois (Latifah) and the Charlotte, North Carolina community.

Written by Diana Ossana (‘Brokeback Mountain’) and said to be directed by Laurie Collyer, ‘Hope’s Wish’ is adapted from Stuart and Shelby Stout’s acclaimed book, “Hope’s Wish: How One Girl’s Dream Made Others Come True.”
