Jennifer Aniston starts new film company

[sharon_b]

Jennifer Aniston's making some big-screen moves: She and Kristin Hahn – both formerly part of Plan B films with Aniston's ex-husband Brad Pitt – are forming their own production company, Echo, Variety reported Tuesday.

"We're drawn to stories about people finding their voice and finding their way because they help us ... [make] sense of our lives through the stories of others," Aniston said in a statement. "That's why we chose the name Echo, to echo back an idea, a challenge, something that resonates through all of us."

According to the showbiz paper, the company will have a first-look deal with Universal Pictures.

The two have already reportedly acquired the rights to several projects – some designed as star vehicles for Aniston.

They include the rights to Jane Fallon's U.K. bestseller Getting Rid of Matthew (in which a woman tries to manipulate her married lover into reconciling with his wife) and Laura Dave's The Divorce Party (in which a couple celebrates their 35th wedding anniversary by announcing their breakup).

The duo are also tackling true-life stories, including Counter-Clockwise (about a Harvard aging study) and The Goree Girls (about a wrongly accused woman who starts an all-female band in prison).

Aniston is currently filming Marley & Me with Owen Wilson in Miami.

Echo eh.

Well that's ONE of the noises Chiniston's sandy vag makes.. I suppose it's a bit more subtle than "Mournful Hooting"

[NicoleWasHere]

Chin Productions: Where the facial structures are gaurenteed to be bigger than the movie.

[louiswinthorpe111]

Sandy Vag Productions: Where no kids are made...

[kingcap72]

Box-Office Bomb Productions: Where no movie is too shitty for Jenni to make.

Good for her. No need to let her interests, shared with Brad, go to the wayside because her marriage ended. I do admit, though, the prison movie sounds absolutely horrible.

Why do all the movies sound depressing or boring? I wish Hollywood would make more feel good movies. I want to be entertained. I find the actors and actresses' transgressions more interesting than the movies they make.

Chiniston doesn't know how to feel good unless she's getting her mandible electrolicyzed

I wonder if her new collaboration with Oprah will give her the inside scoop on 'real life' stories Oprah may feature on her show or her mag?

But, ITA about movies these days. Entertain me, make me laugh, maybe even cry, but above all, give me two hours of escape.

I just saw the New World and it was the saddest piece of celluloid's attempt at German realism and existentialism I've ever seen. To bastardize the story of Pocahontas with that piece of crap was just wrong.

I think it is great and wish her the best of luck.

Her clitoris is on her chin, now?

So this is basically just a way for her to stay in the spotlight. I hope it's because no one is offering her roles anymore.

Chinstrap productions.

Uh, Plan B was developed for the very same reason- back with Jen and now with Ang. Let's be fair here!

[sparkly]

^I had no idea Angelina took over Plan B. Did they name over the contraception, or something?
