Jennifer Aniston To Join Ben Stiller Project

Untitled: Stiller Hamburg Romantic Comedy
Jennifer Aniston is in negotiations to star opposite Ben Stiller, Debra Messing and Philip Seymour Hoffman in the untitled John Hamburg project for Universal Pictures, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

If a deal for Aniston is made, it would give the actress a very busy fall schedule because she would shoot the Hamburg project -- due to begin production next month -- concurrently with her duties on the NBC series as well her role opposite Jim Carrey in the Tom Shadyac-directed "Bruce Almighty."

In the Hamburg comedy, Aniston would star as a woman who gets involved in a risky romance with a married man (Stiller). Messing plays his wife, while Hoffman is set to star as his best friend.
