Jennifer Aniston is slated to star in a movie alongside Adam Sandler, where Aniston will play Sandler’s love interest. The movie is tentatively titled The Pretend Wife and might be released (if it gets the green light that is) in February of 2011. Wow. Well. You gotta hand it to Aniston for milking this romantic comedy pigeonhole for all it’s worth.
more Jennifer and Adam after the hop…
While Columbia and rumored director Dennis Dugan are playing coy about any plot details (or so says The Hollywood Reporter), Michael K. over at Dlisted.com thinks the movie may be based on the book with the same title that was released last June. The plot would go a little something like this:
For Gwen Merchant (ANISTON!), love has always been doled out in little packets—from her father, a marine biologist who buried himself in work after her mother’s death; and from her husband, Peter, who’s always been respectable and safe. But when an old college boyfriend, the irrepressible Elliot Hull (SANDLER!), invites himself back into Gwen’s life, she starts to remember a time when love was an ocean.What does Elliot want? In fact, he has a rather surprising proposition: he wants Gwen to become his wife. His pretend wife. Just for a few days. To accompany him to his family’s lake house for the weekend so that he can fulfill his dying mother’s last wish.
But as Gwen is drawn into Elliot’s quirky, wonderful family—his astonishingly wise and open mother, his warm and welcoming sister, and his adorable, precocious niece—she starts questioning everything she’s ever expected from love. And as she begins to uncover a few secrets about her own family, it suddenly looks like a pretend relationship just might turn out to be the most real thing she’s ever known.
Awwwwww. But, Adam Sandler? Really?
