Jennifer Aniston is in final negotiations to star in a film being produced by Drew Barrymore called He's Just Not That into You, which already has an all-star cast attached. Should she do the film, and it's looking more and more like when, not if, she will join Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Connolly, Bradley Cooper, Justin Long, Ginnifer Goodwin and Barrymore in this Baltimore-based comedy about reading and misreading human behavior.

From what I'm hearing about the project, it sounds like Aniston has once again gravitated toward material that speaks to her own relationship ups and downs. Will this be a hit like The Break-Up, or do we have another Rumor Has It on our hands?

Being one of the most talked about women in the world, it has become difficult for Aniston to break out of her shell onscreen. Sometimes it feels like she’s just playing herself. I'm still waiting for that role or performance that blows me away.

While this is shaping up to be a sharp and witty romantic comedy, I hope she continues to take on more serious projects like she did with Derailed. I think RZA and I were the only people who liked that movie, and he's only into it because he's in it. Hopefully for my homey Kevin Connolly, we won’t be the only two people who like He's Just Not That into You.
