Jennifer Aniston Will Birth as Many Movies as Possible Before Her Expiration Date

Yesterday, we brought you news that Colin Farrell was in negotiations to star as the vampire in the Fright Night remake (along with Anton Yelchin as the lead, and Toni Colette as the mother). Today, we learn that Colin Farrell is also in talks, along with Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, and Charlie Day, to star in Horrible Bosses. The movie is about three best friends who decide to kill each other’s bosses (indubitably!). Seth Gordon (The King of Kong — good!; Four Christmases — bad!) is set to direct, with filming expected to begin in the summer, that according to THR.The hope, too, perhaps, is that Charlie Day can become the next Zach Galifianakis, which doesn’t seem like a stretch at all. Charlie Day is the manic tits.

But wait! That’s not all. Jennifer Aniston — who is determined to sully all your favorite actors by appearing in the same film — will also co-star with Paul Rudd (turn that frown upside down, motherfuckers) in Wanderlust, an Apatow-produced comedy about a married couple who decide to leave the trappings of the city and immerse themselves in a counterculture lifestyle. Lame-ish premise, but David Wain (Role Models) is directing and co-writing with Ken Marino, who also co-wrote Role Models with Rudd and Wain. So, everything’s coming up roses on this project: You just have to deal with the Aniston thorns. (Deadline)

There’s also another movie that Colin Farrel is set to star in, according to Variety (he’s going to be very busy in the near future). He and Marion Cotillard will star in the Cronenberg-directed Cosmopolis, based on the Don Delillo novel. It’s a thriller about a multimillionaire asset manager who loses his entire wealth over a 24-hour period. Cotillard will play the wife. That sounds weirdly straightforward for a Cronenberg film.

I hope you like Farrell and Aniston. You’re going to be seeing an awful lot of them.

Like Lost itself, the recap will be worth the wait.

GODDAMNIT! That's it. I'm going to the CDC and petitioning we cordon off Hollywood, lest this outbreak of Aniston Syndrome spreads cross country and infects Vegas stage shows (Viva Los Aniston?!), MidWest county fairs (Aniston Pig Wrestling), and New York crack dens (Aniston Chic).

Despite myself, there is something about that woman. Maybe it's the desire to hate-eff her, but physically she just does it for me.

Wup, I got it! She has fantastic legs. I'm a leg man.

What's with the Aniston hate?

Fuck it...if you need me I'll be...somewhere...staring at that header pic.

Ditto to what Deist said. I don't get it. I really, really, don't. Same with the Paltrow hate. Same with the Hitler ha... Oops. Scratch that last one...

Well, I wasn't going to see that second movie because of The Policy (Aniston, Megan Fox, and all the stars of Charlie's Angels are a part of said policy), but Paul Rudd and David Wain AND Judd Apatow? Yeah, that supercedes The Policy.

I have a vague memory of Aniston and Rudd being in a movie together, and it wasn't... awful. I think Aniston *can* be good - she just chooses to star in shitty movies most of the time, for reasons known only to her. Paul Rudd & the Role Models bunch can probably make her tolerable.

MM, it was The Object of My Affection, and it was cute. However that was like 12 years ago when Jennifer Aniston was Rachel and we didn't know any better.

Name me one good movie with Aniston as the lead. (Office Space doesn't count as she wasn't the lead. Ron "My name is not Peter" Livingston was).

Never been a fan - she's a competent actress, but I've never seen her convince me utterly of her character. Rather she seems like a personable gal who picks roles that let her be a personable gal.

I will say though she's quite beautiful in that picture.

I want to like her, really really much, she really does it for me, but she keeps making such shitty movies.

The problem is you can replace Aniston with any other rom-com queen, like Kate Hudson, Heigl, Garner. They are all the same. All they need to do is look cute, perplexed, or slightly sour. That's it. So, there's nothing really original or unique about Aniston. She skates by on image: trying to be hot and accessible for male fans (nude photo spreads for GQ, FHM, etc), while trying to maintain a girl-power/sweetheart image for her female fans (In Bazaar, Vogue magazine, etc). Nothing to admire there. Most of her movies are forgetable.

Why does she keep doing so many crap films, rather than finding a strong role, or financing her own film? Does she really need the money? Isn't she famous enough now? It smacks of desperation to stay famous or relevant. Maybe, she thinks that if she does enough films, then one of them will be good--just by default. It's like a porn star doing everyone in town in search of Mr. Right.

The Good Girl was pretty great.

Just read Cosmopolis a couple months ago. Kind of a surreal narrative, but good for a movie adaptation since it's only a couple hundred pages. Farrell is an interesting casting choice, and Cronenberg is on a fucking roll , so should be interesting.

Cecillia said she's "like a porn star doing everyone in town in search of Mr. Right."

Ha, ha. I like the way you think grrl.
