Mystery solved!

by Erin

In some of last week’s candids, it looked like Jen was carrying a new script with her, and I know that I, for one, was very excited at the prospect of yet another Jen movie. Well, a recent news item from Metro offers one possibility - Jen may soon be hard at work on Getting Rid Of Matthew, based on the novel by Jane Fallon:

Jen will play Helen in the movie version of Getting Rid Of Matthew, which centres on a woman who tries to manipulate her married lover into reconciling with his wife.

Jane said: “Jennifer Aniston was always my top choice to play Helen, who is having an affair with a married man, but I really wanted someone who brought that likeability to the screen, so even though you knew she was behaving really badly you couldn’t help but like her.”

In the article, Ms. Fallon reveals her surprise at Jen’s enthusiasm about the project and the ease with which it all came about:

“She basically just said yes straight away, which I gather is unheard of. It’s bizarre. I was leaving the next day so we went to pitch it to a studio and fixed up a meeting with Universal before I went home. They said yes pretty quickly as well. It’s about as easy as it could ever be.”

This project, to be produced by Jen’s Echo Films, sounds like a very interesting prospect, and I can’t wait to see it happen, especially with Jen taking on the rather unusual role of Helen. More on this as it develops!

    This is excellent!! thanks Erin for the update. This part sounds very interesting and I know she will do justice to “Helen”. This will also show another aspect to Jennifer’s artistic talent.
