Harvey's Book Hits the Big Screen 

Mr. Steve Harvey is on a roll! After acquiring a spot on Good Morning America to discuss family and relationship, it was announced today that his NY Times best selling book, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, will be made into a movie produced by Rainforest Film's Will Packer.

Will Packer will produce, and Harvey will be exec producer. Screen Gems prexy Clint Culpepper will begin canvassing writers to hear different pitches for an ensemble comedy about romantic relationships. Culpepper first worked with Harvey when the latter acted in “You Got Served.”"Steve has always provided an easily relatable perspective on men, the way they view women and their seemingly complex but surprisingly simple emotional needs,” Culpepper said. Culpepper and Packer flew to Dallas on Sunday to close the deal with Harvey.

Packer recently produced “Obsessed,” is shooting “Takers” and prepping a remake of “The Big Chill” for Screen Gems. (Variety)

That has the possibility of being a really funny film with a fabulous African American ensemble cast. What take on the book would you like to see?
