'Loves' thrills Warner Bros.

Flower Films to produce pic for Warner Bros.

Drew Barrymore has committed to star in the Warner Bros. thriller "He Loves Me." Ted Tally has been set to write a new draft.

Barrymore and her Flower Films partner Nancy Juvonen are producing.

WB bought the Joyce Brotman spec in December, with Barrymore eyeing the lead at that time. The buy came as Flower planted itself at Warners in a new first-look deal.

Barrymore has been acting up a storm for the studio, starring with Hugh Grant in the romantic comedy "Music & Lyrics By," which bows in February, and toplining "Lucky You" with Eric Bana. WB releases that drama in March.

Tally, the "Silence of the Lambs" scribe who most recently completed an adaptation of "The Reckoning" for Paramount and "Shrek the Third" for DreamWorks, called "He Loves Me" a "taut, sexy thriller about contemporary infidelity, which strongly questions the proposition that what you don't know won't hurt you."
