Drew Barrymore has signed on to direct the new rom-com How to Be Single, based on a novel by Liz Tuccillo of the same name. The film explores the love lives of several New Yorkers over ten years. It’s said to follow in the He’s Just Not Into You model of a multi-character narrative arc. Barrymore helped produce that film, and worked with Marc Silverstein, Abby Kohn, and her Flower Films partner Nancy Juvonen, all of whom have signed up for Single. But wait, wasn’t He’s Just Not That Into You terrible? [HR]
