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.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Alcon Entertainment, Torridon/16:14, and Walden Media will serve as the film’s producers, which officially begins production on April 9th in Charlotte.
