Five 'Aren't That Into You'
I don't want to see this...
Have you ever seen that daytime talk show "The Greg Behrendt Show"? Of course you haven't, you are working when this pile comes on, but it is on during the day and I think it is on after the "Price is Right". Behrendt is the douche that wrote the book "He's Just Not That Into You" and it looks like New Line is going to try to turn it into a feature film with quite the all star cast.
Drew Barrymore is already set to topline the flick with Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Connolly, Bradley Cooper, Justin Long and Ginnifer Goodwin in negotiations to join the cast. Ken Kwapis, who helmed the recent rom-com flop License to Wed, is set to direct the feature.
The book is described as a social commentary about modern-day relationships and how men and women often misconstrue the intentions of the opposite sex. Behrendt wrote the book with Liz Tuccillo, the two also worked together on "Sex and the City" as a consultant and writer, respectively.
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 due to start early September in Los Angeles.
