Ben Affleck is currently in the negotiation phase of signing a contract with New Line for a part in He’s Just Not That Into You, a film based on the bestselling book by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo and originally inspired by a famous quote from the Sex and the City HBO series.

If he signs, Affleck will join Drew Barrymore, Kevin Connolly, Bradley Cooper, Scarlett Johansson, and Justin Long in the cast. Oh, and we can’t forget the three Jenns; Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly, and Ginnifer Goodwin. Ben just can’t get away from those Jennifers (i.e. Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Garner). I can’t blame him. It is the most beautiful name in the world. I would know.

According to Variety, shooting will begin September 10 in Los Angeles. Ken Kwapis (License To Wed) will direct, and producing will be done under Drew Barrymore and Nancy Juvonen’s Flower Films banner.

“He’s Just Not That Into You” centers around the miscommunication and misunderstanding that often occurs between members of the opposite sex.

On the Side: Ben Affleck is popularly known as the former half of “Bennifer.”
