Jennifer Aniston is the latest actress linked to “He’s Just Not That Into You,” a new comedy based on the bestselling book of the same title about the seemingly endless ways in which men and women misunderstand each other. Last seen in “The Break-Up,” Aniston is in negotiations to star in the New Line Cinema ensemble comedy being directed by Ken Kwapis. If it all works out, Aniston will play a woman in a long-term relationship with a boyfriend who will not commit to marriage.Scarlett Johansson has already signed on: She’ll play a Pilates instructor and aspiring singer who finds herself in love with a married man. Also in the cast are Drew Barrymore, Justin Long, Jennifer Connelly, Kevin Connolly, Bradley Cooper and Ginnifer Goodwin. Barrymore is producing the film through her Flower Films company.

According to IMDB.com, the film will be set in Baltimore. It follows interconnecting story arcs dealing with the challenges of reading — and misreading — human behavior.

The film fictionalizes the popular 2004 self-improvement book “He’s Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys” that was co-written by stand-up comedian Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo.

Production is scheduled to start next month.
