'Alias' Star Lands $3 Million In Leading Role

[Thursday, June 13th, 2002]
"Alias" television actress Jennifer Garner, a virtual unknown one year ago, is in negotiations to earn in the neighborhood of $3 million to star in Revolution Studios' "13 Going on 30," reports The Hollywood Reporter

No helmer is attached to the project, though Garner is said to have director approval on the film, which is expected to go into production next year while the actress is on hiatus from her ABC series, which begins its second season in the fall.

Written by Josh Goldsmith and Cathy Yuspa, the project is described as a female "Big." It's about a 13-year-old girl who dreams of being popular. During her birthday party, she engages in a party game called Seven Minutes in the Closet. It turns out to be a humiliating experience for her, and she refuses to come out of the closet and be subjected to more embarrassment. When she eventually does emerge, she finds herself five days shy of her 30th birthday, looking fabulous and extremely popular.
