Cast Note: (9/29/01) This is probably going to be mentioned when LL does press for the film, so I'll mention it now. It was probably inevitable that he would play a character defined as a "ladies man" someday, since his professional name is short for "Ladies Love Cool James." Also, back in May, 2001, Gary Hardwick told BlackFilm.com that Halle Berry was also interested in a role (but she didn't actually end up signing).
Director: Gary Hardwick (2001's The Brothers)
Who's Gabrielle Union?:
9/29/01 - Gabrielle Union is currently best known for playing the leader of the African-American cheerleader squad in 2000's Bring it On. She also costarred in director Gary Hardwick's The Brothers.
Screenwriter: Gary Hardwick (The Brothers, Trippin')
Based Upon: An original script by Barbara Brauner and James Mattson (feature debuts). Hardwick took that story, which was about four caucasian sisters in Seattle, and adapted it to be about four African-American sisters in Atlanta.
Premise: This is the story of three young African-American men who pay a "ladies man" (LL Cool J) $5,000 to romance their perfectionist sister-in-law (Union) so they can live their lives free of her constant meddling... but they're surprised by what happens next... (Lee and Good plays two of the sisters)
Filming: Production started on October 17th, 2001 in Los Angeles. There will also be some filming in Atlanta. LL Cool J's scenes will be filmed first, allowing him to move on to Mindhunters in early 2002.
Genre: African-American, Comedy, Romance
