Queen Latifah believes that her new movie Just Wright is a modern day Cinderella story.
The singer turned actress stars alongside Common in the romantic comedy which follows a physical therapist who falls for the basketball player she is helping recover from a career-threatening injury
In an interview with Moviehole Latifah said: "It's definitely a new age Cinderella. It's not quite a Cinderella in the sense that Cinderella has these evil stepsisters and this mean-a*s stepmother who treat her like garbage.
"This is not so simple. Even the 'villain' in this movie is not quite as villainess as you might want her to be.
"The 'hero' is you will and the 'villain' are tight like glue. And they're sisters. And they relate to one another.
"They know one another like the back of each other's hand. So, as much as they might be angry with one another, they tend not to go against each other in public. And that's difficult."
Latifah has already topped the box office this year as part of Valentine's Day's ensemble cast and she has also been linked to Truck Turner and Welfare Queen.
Just Wright is released later this year.
