HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 14 (UPI) -- Shooting for Queen Latifah's "The Cookout" is under way in New Jersey with a cast ranging from Quran Pender to Farrah Fawcett, a report said Sunday.

The Lance Rivera-directed Lions Gate Films project was co-written by Latifah with her Flavor Unit Films partner Shakim Compere.

The cast includes Pender, Ja Rule, Eve, Jonathan Silverman, Jenifer Lewis, Meagan Good, Tim Meadows, Fawcett and Danny Glover, the Hollywood Reporter said.

"Cookout" stars Pender as Todd Anderson, a basketball star who becomes the No. 1 NBA draft pick. To celebrate, he organizes a "cookout" in his new mansion with his crazy friends and relatives.

Latifah plays a supporting role as a security guard, with Ja Rule starring as Todd's friend Bling Bling, Eve as Todd's old high school girlfriend, Silverman as the slick sports agent of the new NBA star, Lewis as Todd's mother, Goode as Todd's girlfriend, Meadows as his uncle, Fawcett as a neighbor and Glover as a judge and the husband of Fawcett's character.
