Affleck in talks to star in comedy

Kwapis directing 'He's Just Not Into You'

New Line is in negotiations with Ben Affleck to round out the cast of ensemble comedy "He's Just Not That Into You," with Drew Barrymore and Nancy Juvonen producing through their Flower Films banner.

Shooting starts Sept. 10 in Los Angeles, with Ken Kwapis ("License to Wed") directing.

Along with Affleck and Barrymore, "You" will star Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Connolly, Bradley Cooper, Ginnifer Goodwin, Scarlett Johansson and Justin Long.

Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein ("Never Been Kissed") adapted the bestseller about modern-day relationships by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo, who worked together on "Sex and the City." The book focuses on how men and women often misconstrue the intentions of the opposite sex.
