Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on August 7, 2007
Don’t worry, she’s not that into me either. Drew Barrymore, that is. Barrymore is one name being dropped alongside Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Connolly, Bradley Cooper, Justin Long and Ginnifer Goodwin in a movie adaptation of the popular book “He’s Just Not That Into You” by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo. LICENSE TO WED director Ken Kwapis will be on to direct.
New Line studios is extending their list of higher profile adaptations by trying to turn this popular book into a feature film. They have been talking lately about remaking ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK and adapting a GEARS OF WAR flick with director Len Wiseman.
As RopeofSilicon reports: “The Baltimore-set movie of interconnecting story arcs deals with the challenges of reading or misreading human behavior. Jennifer Connelly plays a woman stuck in a tired marriage with Cooper’s character. Kevin Connolly, meanwhile, is a man pining after a woman, still not cast, who is having an affair with Cooper.
Goodwin is a young woman obsessed with Kevin Connolly’s character who tries to set up accidental meetings with him only to run across his friend, played by Long, who takes her on as a “My Fair Lady” experiment.
Barrymore plays a woman perpetually confused by dating, now more than ever in a culture that is more obsessed with technology than actual human contact. ”
Production is set for an early September start. Filming will be in Los Angeles.
