George Tillman, Jr: 'Notorious' Director To Do Comedy Love Story On Craiglist Ads

Comments (2)

George Tillman, Jr., who directed The Notorious B.I.G. biopic, 'Notorious,' earlier this year, has been attached to do a romantic comedy based on the ads from Craigslist called 'I Saw You.'

The Hollywood Reporter states that the film, stemming from a comics anthology edited by Julia Wertz, revolves around four intersecting love stories derived from missed-connections ads.

Wertz's 'I Saw You ...' collected comics based on real-life missed-connection ads on Craigslist and in local papers. Random House's Three Rivers Press imprint published the trade paperback in February.

While Tillman Jr. hasn't directed a comedy before, the Milwaukee, Wisconsin native has produced plenty successful film in the genre, ranging from 'Barbershop' with Ice Cube, as well as 'Beauty Shop' film with Queen Latifah. He also produced 'Roll Bounce' with Bow Wow and Nick Cannon, and 2008's 'Nothing Like The Holidays' with John Leguizamo and Alfred Molina.
