Julia Roberts (55) and Jennifer Aniston (53) swap bodies in their new film. As “Deadline” reports, Amazon Studios has secured the rights to the comedy. According to the magazine, the online retail giant’s production company prevailed in a bidding competition against four other interested parties.
There is no title for the film yet. Except for the two stars and the body swap premise, no further details of the project are known.
However, the name of the author and director is known: Max Barbakow is the mastermind behind the project. The American presented his idea last week and inspired Amazon Studios with it. Barbakow made a name for himself in the scene in 2020 with the insider tip “Palm Springs”. The time loop comedy with comedian Andy Samberg (44) and “How I Met Your Mother” actress Cristin Milioti (37) was nominated for two Golden Globes in 2020.
Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston not only star in the untitled film. The two top stars are also involved behind the scenes with their respective production companies. With Margot Robbie (32) there is another big name as a producer.
Aniston and Roberts aren’t filming together for the first time. In 2016 they stood together in front of the camera for “Mother’s Day – Love is not child’s play”. Roberts also had a guest appearance on Aniston’s cult series Friends.
