Drew Barrymore set to Direct Romantic Comedy HOW TO BE SINGLE

Drew Barrymore has set up a new romantic comedy as her next directing gig called How to Be single. This will be Barrymore's second film. The first film she directed was the roller derby movie Whip It. 

The film is based off the novel written by Liz Tuccillo and explores the loves lives and break-ups of a group of New Yorkers over the course of ten years. The book was adapted by screenwriters Marc Silverstein and Abby Kohn.

This movie definitley isn't for me. It caters more toward the Sex in the City, He’s Just Not That Into You and Valentine’s Day movie crowd. 

Here's a full description of the story from the Novel:

Julie Jenson is a 37-year-old book publicist in New York. She's also single - and has been for six years. When her friend Georgia's husband dumps her for a samba teacher, Julie gathers her four single girlfriends for one momentous night of New York singlehood. Following a night that started with Steaks & Martinis and ended with topless bar dancing and a trip to the hospital, Julie decides that she's fed up with New York's singles scene once and for all. Her friends are all beautiful, smart and successful - but between the five of them, there's more dysfunction and disappointment than she can handle. So she quits her job and sets off to find how women around the world deal with the dreaded phenomenon of the Single Life. From Paris to India, to Iceland and back to New York, Julie finds out how to make her crazy life work. Written in Tuccillo's pitch-perfect and hilarious voice, HOW TO BE SINGLE is the ultimate novel for the single girl in us all.
