Aniston, Butler find laffs at Columbia
Andy Tennant to direct bounty hunter comedy
By MICHAEL FLEMING, TATIANA SIEGEL

Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler are in negotiations to topline an untitled bounty hunter project at Columbia.

"Hitch" helmer Andy Tennant is attached to direct the comedy, which centers on a bounty hunter (Butler) hired to retrieve his ex-wife (Aniston), who has skipped bail.

Sarah Thorp, whose most recent bigscreen credit is the Ashley Judd starrer "Twisted," penned the script.

Studio is eyeing a May start date.

Neal Moritz is producing through his Sony-based Original Films shingle.

Aniston, who next stars in the Christmas Day opener "Marley & Me," has three films in the can: "He's Just Not That Into You," "Traveling" and "Management," which she also produced.

"300" star Butler, who most recently appeared in "RocknRolla" and "Nim's Island," will next be seen in the thriller "Game" and the romantic comedy "The Ugly Truth" opposite Katherine Heigl.

Tennant most recently helmed the Matthew McConaughey-Kate Hudson topliner "Fool's Gold." He also is attached to direct "Chasing Harry Winston."

Loved Hitch....and I like Butler. Could be good.

Hitch was great although Tennant's follow up 'Fools Gold' was mediocre due too a weak script, though he kept it looking good. This could be cool, even though Aniston's output is usually bland rom com fare, hopefully the script has bite and takes advantage of the premise.

Is this gonna be Gerard Butler's steeze for the rest of his character? Badass movie, romantic comedy, badass movie, romantic comedy, etc.

300 => P.S., I Love You(he's dead most of it)/The Ugly Truth = > Law Abiding Citizen => The Bounty Hunter

Ugh, I hate Jennifer Aniston, lousy , bland actress who only rose to fame because of nipples peaking through her shirt.

I know, she should make the transition to porn, make a bucket load of cash, make life good for everybody else, then retire.

 

[Nivek]

I'm just sick of her from the damn Tabloid covers, crappy movies, and her riding the fame coat tails of Angelina Jolie (much better looking, and smokes her on an actress to actress basis) and Brad Pitt (It's her Ex, move on).

And Gerard... well, he did mock his dual Rom-Com/ action roles in his Saturday Night Live monologue.

 

[dark_b]

but in this movie she will be super hot. those set pics.................boom.

 

[Nivek]

There are much hotter and better actresses than Ms. Aniston.

 

[dark_b]

and i am right now talking about her

 

[Superfreak]

and i am right now talking about her

but she won't be naked, that's what she is: a stripper that doesn't take her clothes off.

Trailer:

Looks like it's been given a severe beating with the bland stick.

 

[Cmill216]

Terrific concept, but the execution based on the trailer is lousy with a capital L.

Oh, Gerard....

 

[That-Guy]

Gerard should have gone all "Dog the Bounty Hunter" for this, wearing long blonde hair extensions and a kevlar vest and constantly quick-drawing a giant can of mace as if it were a .357 Magnum.

I agree. TBH I don't even think she's hot.

Gerard should have gone all "Dog the Bounty Hunter" for this, wearing long blonde hair extensions and a kevlar vest and constantly quick-drawing a giant can of mace as if it were a .357 Magnum.

This movie looks like a dud. And he sounds weird.

 

[daywalker2007]

Butlet was great in the Ugly Truth alongside Heigl.

Maybe he might be good in this too.

 

[Christopher Nolan]

i think butler is a good actor ( good show in LAZ), but i cant understand why he keeps playing in these crap comedy movies..what a waste..
