Whitney Cummings directorial debut will be "The Female Brain"

rodneyholley Comedienne Whitney Cummings' first directorial film effort will be based on the book, "The Female Brain" written by neuropsychiatrist Louann Brizendine. The book is "about couples who demonstrate the workings of primal neurology in their romantic relationships."

Cummings and Neal Brennan co-wrote the script. Cummings created and starred in the NBC sitcom "Whitney" and co-created CBS's "2 Broke Girls." Brennan helped create and wrote on "Chappelle's Show." Black Bicycle will finance and produce the feature.

Cummings stated that "'The Female Brain' is a book that profoundly changed my life, and I'm really proud of how Neal Brennan and I wrote the script in a way that addresses how men and women are often challenged and undermined by their reptilian brains and primordial fears. I'm really grateful Black Bicycle is letting me make a science comedy."

Filming begins this upcoming July in Los Angeles.
