Writer Lisa Loomer has come aboard the Halle Berry starrer
Nappily Ever After, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Loomer will rewrite the script, to be directed by Patricia Cardoso. The story, based on Trisha Thomas' novel, follows a black woman's journey to self-discovery. On an impulse, the main character -- an advertising exec tired of fussing with her long and processed straight hair -- shaves it off and kicks out her commitment-phobic boyfriend. Discovering a newfound freedom, she is unprepared for how friends and co-workers react to her new hairdo and subsequent new life.
