Jennifer Eckhart

Jennifer Aniston has not had the illustrious film career many of us had hoped for. Although she showed fantastic depth in “The Good Girl” she has not yet since cashed in on that promise.
She continues to be utterly charming and lovely, and keeps being in films that under-perform as she so often does. It is hard to see why she keeps getting cast. Perhaps casting agents are hoping to unleash the wonderful actress only hinted at before. Or they are still under the assumption that Rachel Greene is a box-office draw.

Looking at her IMDB page you see that she is surprisingly working with many exciting actors in upcoming projects. These include: Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Connelly, Scar Jo, Owen Wilson and Colin Firth. However these are all of the comedy/romance genre which we know she can do in her sleep (and most of the time that is exactly what it appears she is doing)

Most interesting is the upcoming project in which she will star alongside Aaron Eckhart for the Universal Pictures drama “Traveling”.
The story is about a widower (Eckhart) whose book about grieving turns him into an overnight phenomenon. Reinvented as a charismatic self-help guru, he falls for a floral designer (Aniston) working at a Seattle hotel where he is holding a seminar, and is forced to confront the fact that he hasn't come to grips with his own loss and practices none of the principles he teaches.

This is interesting, not because it looks to offer Anniston anything new or juicy, but because it looks to be the type of role that could send Eckhart into major popularity.
He could start being the naughty hand-down-the-panties fantasy of every housewife (an a few husbands) in the world. And that would be a wonderful thing for this charismatic and talented actor.
Lets hope first time Director, Brandon Camp is able to keep it away from schmaltz.
