Gabrielle Union, Gary Owen, Jerry Ferrara, and Romany Malco have been added to the big-screen adaptation of comedian Steve Harvey‘s national best-seller book ‘Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man.’
Already cast in the film are Kevin Hart, plays a soon-to-be-divorced, self-professed relationship expert who doles out advice to the couple, Taraji P. Henson and Michael Ealy.
The book, which has afforded the Virginia native multiple appearances on top-rated TV shows such as ‘Oprah’ and ‘The View,’ is a relationship guide where Harvey refers to his own real-life experiences and drops science about the dos and don’ts of meeting and mating. The ‘Original King of Comedy’ also translates for women what men say versus what they really mean. In an interview with BlackVoices.com, Harvey, who collaborated with acclaimed writer Denene Milner, stated, “I wanted to write this book to empower women. It was very therapeutic for me.”
Directed by Tim Story, ‘Think Like A Man’ will be produced by Rainforest Films’s Will Packer, Rushion McDonald and Rob Hardy and Screen Gems, who also collaborated with Packer on such hits as ‘Stomp The Yard,’ ‘This Christmas,’ and ‘Takers.’
Harvey’s book has sold more than 2 million copies worldwide since it came out in 2009. Tome is a humorous love guide for bridging the differences between the sexes for successful relationships.
Union is currently shooting Tyler Perry‘s latest film, ‘Good Deeds,’ while Malco, known for his role in ‘The 40 Year Old Virgin,’ recently played George St. Cloud on the now-cancelled ABC primetime one-hour drama ‘No Ordinary Family.’
Production on ‘Think Like A Man’ is scheduled to start this summer.
