Mo' Money For Steve Harvey
Posted by Media Outrage on August 7th, 2009
Steve Harvey is really making them duckets. After having a best-selling book that is still flying off the shelves, thanks to his extremely popular morning radio show, and sitting on Oprah’s couch, he’s now about to really make it rain.
Via Eurweb:
BV Newswire has learned that filmmaker Will Packer is planning to adapt Steve Harvey’s best-selling book “Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man” into a feature film.
An official announcement is reportedly pending, but BV’s Karu Daniels is reporting that the producer of such films as “Stomp The Yard” and “Obsessed” have reportedly acquired the film rights to the Amistad/Harper Collins book, which has been atop the New York Times Best Sellers list for the past six months.
“It’s pretty amazing,” Harvey, a first-time author, told BlackVoices.com in February about the book’s success. “It really has to be some amount of favor from God, because I have no experience at writing a book.”
Officially titled “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment,” the book is an extension of a popular segment from Harvey’s top rated, nationally syndicated morning radio show called “Strawberry Letter,” in which he and co-host Shirley Strawberry give advice to people who write in.
In 2007, Packer — the co-founder and chairman of Rainforest Films – was heralded as one of the “10 Producers To Watch” by Variety.
Mediaoutrage- Providing they select some very valuable actors and receive good financial backing for promotion, the movie should do well.

All I’m gon’ say is I haven’t bothered to see “Stomp The Yard”. Actually heard it was crap. And “Obsessed” wasn’t all that.

I hope he takes that money to get rid of that nail fungus and goes to BJ’s or Sam’s club and get some paper towels to wipe his greasy country lips…

Good for Steve… I haven’t read the book, nor do I plan to.
I do enjoy his stand-up comedy though!
