Barrymore to direct Liz Tucillo novel



Drew Barrymore will produce and direct a film version of former Sex and the City script editor Liz Tucillo's debut novel.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the former child star will helm an adaptation of How To Be Single. Published in 2008, the novel charts the love lives of a group of women in New York over a decade.

Tucillo also wrote He's Just Not That Into You with Greg Behrendt in 2004. The new project reunites the creative team who worked with Barrymore on the big screen version of the self-help book.

Marc Silverstein and Abby Kohn adapted the novel, with Michele Weiss (The Time Traveller's Wife), Michael Disco (Rock Of Ages, Valentine's Day) and Barrymore's business partner Nancy Juvonen serving on the senior production team.

How To Be Single will be the 36-year-old's second film as director following the 2009 comedy Whip It.
