Now that HBO's Big Love has already wrapped up its second season, Ginnifer Goodwin, has more time to focus on filming the much awaited movie, He's Just Not That Into You.

Based on the popular self-improvement book written by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo called He's Just Not That Into You: The No-Excuses Truth To Understanding Guys, which has been a New York Times bestseller and was featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Goodwin's upcoming film features how men and women give each other mixed signals in the dating game by telling the stories of numerous singles and how they navigate the waters of love and romance.

Joining the Big Love actress in the Baltimore-set movie of interconnecting story arcs are Drew Barrymore (Never Been Kissed), Jennifer Aniston (Friends), Ben Affleck (Daredevil), Scarlett Johansson (The Island), Jennifer Connelly (Dark Water), Kevin Connolly (Entourage), Bradley Cooper (Kitchen Confidential), Justin Long (Ed), Wilson Cruz (Party of Five), and Brooke Bloom (CSI: Miami).

The Big Love actress plays a young woman obsessed with Kevin Connolly's character who tries to set up accidental meetings with him only to run across his friend, played by Long, who takes her on as a "My Fair Lady" experiment.  Jennifer Connelly portrays a woman caught up in a boring marriage with Cooper's character.  Kevin Connolly, meanwhile, is a man pining after a woman who is having an affair with Cooper.

As for Barrymore, who also serves as the producer of the movie, she plays a woman perpetually confused by dating, now more than ever in a culture that is more fixated with technology than actual human contact.

He's Just Not That Into You is directed by Kevin Kwapis, who is credited for his work on The Office, and will be distributed by New Line Cinema.  The film is expected to hit the theaters on August 1.
