Casting Call: Jennifer Aniston Gets Booked For ‘Traveling’

Jennifer Aniston puts her “Traveling” pants on. Kevin James turns into a “Mall” rat. Plus, Rachel McAdams is ready for “Play” time with Brad Pitt. It’s all in the latest edition of the Access Hollywood Casting Call…

Jennifer Aniston has signed on to star alongside Aaron Eckhart in the drama “Traveling,” reports Variety.

The drama follows a Seattle floral designer (Aniston) who works in a hotel where a charming self-help guru (Eckhart) is holding a weekend seminar on coping with grief.

As the two get to know each other, she helps him realize he may not be practicing what he preaches.

Shooting is scheduled to begin next year.

Aniston is currently filming “He’s Just Not That Into You,” which also stars Scarlett Johansson, Drew Barrymore, Ben Affleck, Ginnifer Goodwin and Justin Long.

Also on the plate for the former “Friend” is the romantic comedy “Marley & Me” with Owen Wilson; the crime drama “Wanted” alongside Meryl Streep; and the crime caper “Gambit” with Ben Kingsley.

Rachel McAdams, Helen Mirren and Robin Wright Penn will join Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Jason Bateman in the drama “State of Play,” per Variety.

In the drama based on the popular BBC miniseries, McAdams will play a reporter in the middle of a career-making story, as her newspaper investigates the death of the mistress of an up-and-coming congressman.

Mirren will play the newspaper’s determined editor.

Wright Penn will play the congressman’s estranged wife. She becomes romantically involved with the congressman’s former campaign manager (Pitt), who leads the newspaper’s investigative team. Norton plays the congressman and Bateman plays the other lead reporter.

Kevin James is ready for duty in “Mall Cop,” per Variety.

James, who also wrote the script, stars as a mild-mannered security guard who gets thrown into action when a group of thieves take over his mall.

Behind the scenes, the film reunites James with his “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry” co-star Adam Sandler, whose Happy Madison company is producing the project along with James.
