Story has directed both the Fantastic Four films, as well Barbershop, so I think we can expect Michael Chiklis, a CGI Silver Surfer, and a bunch of middle-aged black dudes sassin’ the hell out of each other. This is going to be my new favorite movie.

The adaptation will focus on a character played by Kevin Hart, who claims to be a relationship expert, constantly doling out advice to friends while unable to manage his own love life. That’s a hell of a paradox ya got there, Mr. Harvey.

The book has sold more than 2 million copies, which sadly, is probably more than the total sales of J.D. Salinger and F. Scott Fitzgerald during the same time span. Of course, those guys were never Kings of Comedy. (Deadline)

In the film, Hart will play a smaller version of Hitch, “a self-professed relationship expert who is quick to give advice to his crew of friends, even as he watched his own marriage crater and head toward divorce.” I predict that the film will feature a funny, fat counterpart (Faizon Love) and a “DAAAMMMNNN!!!!,” counter in the bottom right corner for those who want to play a drinking game while watching. Those poor individuals will be the first documented cases of “being lost in a beer-hole.” (Deadline)
