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."

Thanks for posting! It must be further along than even she made it sound in the interview. My only hesitation, to be honest, is that it's with the director of 'Fools Gold.' But he also made 'Hitch,' which was really great I thought, so you never know. Looking forward to hearing more about this either way!  |

| I'm sure the negotiations part is true. It's from Variety. Plus Jennifer mentioned it in one of her interviews. I don't disagree with you aniStunning10 on Fool's Gold, although it did make it's rather high budget in domestic box office and grossed an additional 40 million overseas. Now Hitch - that was a stupendous success. |

| Thanks for all the info. Really looking forward to this one. Funny how everyone got it wrong and were saying that Butler was in talks for Goree Girls. |

| IMDB Pro had it listed as an action film before this was released and I got a little excited for something different but now hearing it's a comedy... meh. Don't gang up on me for this but I want to see her do something other than comedies because I know she would be awesome. Maybe I need more info on this. |
