Jennifer Aniston will star alongside Aaron Eckhart in the Universal Pictures drama Traveling. Writer/producer Brandon Camp, who created the Fox series John Doe, will make his directorial debut on the project.
The story, written by Camp and his longtime partner Mike Thompson, is about a widower (Eckhart) whose book about grieving turns him into a phenomenon. Reinvented as a charismatic self-help guru, he falls for a woman (Aniston), who is a floral designer working at a Seattle hotel where he is holding a seminar, and is forced to confront the fact that he hasn’t come to grips with his own loss and practices none of the principles he teaches.
Aniston is currently shooting a small role in New Line’s Ken Kwapis-directed ensemble comedy She’s Just Not That Into You, which is being produced by Drew Barrymore and her Flower Films partner Nancy Juvonen. She will then move right into the Stephen Belber-directed Management with Steve Zahn. She is also set to star with Owen Wilson in Fox 2000’s David Frankel-directed Marley & Me, but that project has been postponed at least until spring.
