Number 15 For Barrymore

Drew Barrymore just keeps on trucking along, keeping herself busy with role after role. The latest addition to the famed actress’ filmography will be Going The Distance, a New Line (you guessed it) romantic comedy. She will be co-starring alongside Justin Long (Zack and Miri), being part of a couple maintaining a long distance relationship when the female moves across the country to take up a teaching job in Chicago. The film will be directed by Nanette Burnstein (American Teen) and written by first-timer Geoff LaTulippe.

Barrymore recently shared the screen with actor Justin Long in the February released He’s Just Not That Into You. The movie raked in so far about $92.5 million overall. Including that with her last romantic comedy (Lucky You which made a measley 5 million), the actress/producer is quickly rising back to popularity box office wise. Barrymore and Long will appear together again on the big screen sometime in 2011. This will be her fifteenth accounted romantic comedy, if anyone is keeping count.
