Filming has begun on the film version of Steve Harvey’s bestselling book Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man. The comedy – with a shortened title of Think Like a Man – is directed by Fantastic Four helmer Tim Story and was adapted for the screen by Keith Merryman and David A Newman.

The large cast of Think Like a Man includes Michael Ealy, Jerry Ferrara, Meagan Good, Regina Hall, Kevin Hart, Taraji P. Henson, Terrance J, Romany Malco, Gary Owen, and Gabrielle Union. Lala Vazquez and Arielle Kebbel take on supporting roles.

In the film, four interconnected and diverse friends have their love lives shaken up after the women they are pursuing buy Steve Harvey’s book and start taking his advice to heart. When the band of brothers find out that they have been betrayed by one of their own, they conspire to use the book’s teachings to turn the tables.

Will Packer (Stomp The Yard, Obsessed, Takers) will produce via his Rainforest Films banner. “Steve Harvey has established himself as one of the funniest and most insightful voices in America. That coupled with an incredible cast makes this an exciting venture,” says Packer.

Steve Harvey, Rushion McDonald, and Rob Hardy will executive produce. Think Like a Man is scheduled for release on April 6, 2012.
