Gabrielle Union to Star in "FAMILY TREE" and "THINK LIKE A MAN"

"Gabrielle Union Set to Star in Indie Dramedy "Family Tree"



Exclusive: Gabrielle Union, Jena Malone, Zach Gilford and "Mad Men" thesp John Slattery are set to star in the indie dramedy "Family Tree."

Brian Savelson is directing from his own screenplay. Anish Savjani ("Meek's Cutoff") is producing with Vincent Savino. Slattery and Gilford star as an estranged father and son who accidentally wind up in the same vacation home with their two girlfriends. Union will play Slattery's love interest who's practically the same age as his son, which makes for some awkward encounters. Malone will play Gilford's girlfriend.

Production is scheduled to start this June in upstate NY. Union is currently filming Tyler Perry's "Good Deeds" for Lionsgate and was also just cast in Screen Gems' "Think Like a Man."

Screen Gems Casts "Think Like A Man"

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. 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.

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.’ Production starts in July.

Ew that book title. "Act like lady think like a man"

It's actually an interesting read in terms of "dating strategy" or whatever....though it gets a little religious and is pretty rigid.

frenchverbs 25th-May-2011 05:43 pm (UTC)
The book is full of common sense tips. A book should not be necessary to tell women how not to let a man step all over them.

And this is why I haven't logged onto FB in months. It's just too fucking much.

Remember when wall-to-wall was the creepiest feature?

This soooo fucking much. That douchebag makes me so aggro when I see his face
frenchverbs 25th-May-2011 05:41 pm (UTC)
My friend found a copy of Think like a Man or whatever at Dollar Tree for $1. lol.

Nothing wrong with him writing a book which is a best seller. Good for him. It told the truth, and he talked from his own experience and never made a secret he didn't do wrong

If you find anyone perfect on ONTD that have not made any mistakes in their lives then you slap them. Because they would be a liar.

He is a ignorant bigot.

Gabrielle will be acting out one of my fantasy
tx5mym5 26th-May-2011 12:11 am (UTC)
ikr? I hope her and Mr. Slattery have 'my dad is having loud sex' scene.
dirtyknife 25th-May-2011 05:10 pm (UTC)
I hate Steve Harvey and his relationship "advice."
dirtyknife 25th-May-2011 05:46 pm (UTC)
Yep. :)
wauwy 25th-May-2011 05:17 pm (UTC)
lol at this book. However, I am still mourning the loss of her and John Cho's hot-like-fire blasianness on my television, tbh. ;____;
