Jennifer Aniston to Star in MISS YOU ALREADY

As first reported on Deadline.com, actress Jennifer Aniston is set to star in the upcoming comedy/drama film MISS YOU ALREADY. The film centers on "a pair of lifelong best friends whose relationship gets torn to bits when one becomes pregnant and the other sick." The film will be directed by Paul Andrew Williams and penned by Morwenna Banks. Shooting is scheduled to begin in London this summer.

Samantha Horley, executive producer of the film, told Deadline, "The idea is that it's 'Beaches' set in a glossy London, it's a real old-fashioned tearjerker." No other casting details have been announced.

Aniston has brought her talent for both comedic and serious roles to the large and small screen in fare as varied as "Friends," which earned her five Emmy nominations and a Lead Actress Emmy, blockbusters such as "Bruce Almighty," "Office Space," "The Breakup" and "Marley and Me" and independent films including "The Good Girl." Aniston has repeatedly been named one of People magazine's Most Beautiful People in the World, Woman of the Year by GQ magazine and has won four People's Choice awards as America's favorite television performer.
