Do you realize that Jennifer Aniston hasn’t lined up one single film since her failed Oscar campaign? I think that’s interesting, don’t you? Not only did Hollywood deny her an Oscar nomination, they’re also denying her the chance to try out her dramatic chops in any other film project. Yes, Aniston is rumored to be circling the Mean Moms project from the same people that brought you Mean Girls (and if that happens for Aniston, it’s a good project for her). Meanwhile, Aniston is left with negotiating her way into another Garry Marshall ensemble in the same vein as New Year’s Eve and Valentine’s Day.

Here is a fresh movie package that will stir up some pre-July 4th fireworks among studios. Julia Roberts is set and Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, and Jason Sudeikis are in negotiations for Mother’s Day, a ensemble film that Garry Marshall is set to direct from a script by Anya Kochoff-Romano and Lily Hollander. The pic tells intertwining stories about the lives of several mothers as the title holiday approaches. It is the latest in Marshall’s holiday movie series that began with New Year’s Eve and Valentine’s Day, both of which were made by New Line. The package is going out to buyers from CAA this evening.

All of this is moving very quickly, as the film will begin production in August. It marks a re-team between Roberts and Marshall, who worked together on hit Pretty Woman, the film that launched Roberts to become the highest paid star of her era. CAA, which represents Roberts, Aniston, Hudson, and Sudeikis, will represent the film’s domestic distribution rights.

Julia just signs on for this stuff because of her friendship with Garry Marshall. For Valentine’s Day, she was featured prominently in all of the ad campaigns and promotion and then it turned out she was only in a few minutes of the film and probably spent like 3 days filming, if that. And why must Garry Marshall dominate all of the holidays? Does anyone else remember the spoof from 30 Rock of Garry Marshall’s Martin Luther King Day trailer? That’s what’s coming.

As for Julia, she is working more these days. The trailer for her new film with Nicole Kidman and Chiwetel Ejiofor was just released – The Secret In Their Eyes.
