Barrymore is also attached to produce the project that is already being described as young adult thriller together with Denise Di Novi and Alison Greenspan.
So, as you see, enough reasons for us to start a little chat about the whole thing.
At this moment we know that screenwriter Shauna Cross, who previously worked with Barrymore on Whip It, is set to adapt Carter’s novel while Barrymore will also supervise the writing.
According to THR, Warner Bros. is aging the characters a notch into their early 20s.
Here’s a little description of the novel: “After a childhood spent assisting her father, one of the world’s most talented art thieves, Katarina Bishop tries to leave the family business behind when she forges her way into a New England boarding school.

Yeah, you already know what we’re talking about, so let’s get straight to the point. Drew Barrymore is on board to direct an adaptation of Liz Tuccillo’s novel titled How to Be Single, and we finally have some details about this romantic comedy to share with you. Of course, this comes straight from Barrymore who, in an interview with EW, revealed:

Drew Barrymore to Direct Romantic Comedy How to Be Single
Anyone single out there? Yeah, I know, I have the same problem, but it looks that Drew Barrymore is not an exception either! At least not when it comes to some new Hollywood projects, because she’s going to direct an adaptation of Liz Tuccillo’s novel titled How to Be Single. Romantic comedy? What the hell, I’m interested!
So, this will be Barrymore’s second feature film that will follow “love lives and break-ups of a group of New Yorkers over the span of ten years.”
Ok, it sounds familiar, but we have an interesting team on board! The whole thing will be written by Marc Silverstein and Abby Kohn, and, as you see, this new project is a reteaming of the He’s Just Not That Into You team – Barrymore and production partner Nancy Juvonen produced that movie while Silverstein and Kohn wrote the script.

Going The Distance Trailer
Check out the first trailer for the romantic comedy Going the Distance, starring real-life couple Justin Long and Drew Barrymore.
Erin and Garrett are good together–even when they’re apart. When aspiring journalist Erin (Barrymore) moves to San Francisco to finish her last year of school, boyfriend Garrett (Long), an assistant music scout, stays in Manhattan to pursue his ambitions and wait on that promotion he’s been promised. With a webcam connection and frequent flier miles, the two gamely navigate the pitfalls and miscommunications of their bi-coastal romance, dodging bad advice from friends and some predatory singles who won’t take “taken” for an answer. But when it seems their wait is almost over, Erin scores her dream job in California just as Garrett’s career heats up in New York. The big breaks they’ve been hoping for could break them up for good…unless their love can truly go the distance.
