Drew Barrymore to helm romantic comedy

The actress is planning to direct her second movie, How to Be Single — a romantic comedy comedy based on a 2008 novel of the same name.

The film explores the loves lives and break-ups of a group of New Yorkers over the course of ten years. Marc Silverstein and Abby Kohn wrote the adaptation of Liz Tuccillo’s book.

The movie will be similar to films such as He’s Just Not That Into You and Valentine’s Day.

Barrymore made her directing debut in 2009 with Whip It, which starred Ellen Page, Kristen Wiig, and Marcia Gay Harden.

Drew was recently reported to be dating art consultant Will Kopelman.

“It’s a very new relationship,” a source said.

“They’re taking things slowly. They’ve been getting to know each other a lot better these last few weeks.”
