Aniston for first post-Friends movie

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- Emmy-award winning "Friends" actress Jennifer Aniston has signed to star in her first feature film since the TV series ended.

It's an as-yet-untitled Warner Bros. Pictures project from Ted Griffin for studio-based Section 8 and Paula Weinstein that should start filming in April, according to Hollywood Reporter. Griffin, who wrote "Ocean's Eleven," is the script's author and will make his directorial debut with the project.

Aniston will play a young woman who discovers her family's darkest secret was the inspiration for the book and the movie, "The Graduate," and that she may have been the biological result of that scandal. She has just starred in back-to-back comedies for Universal Pictures -- "Along Came Polly," opposite Ben Stiller, and "Bruce Almighty," opposite Jim Carrey.

Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney, Section 8 heads, will produce with Weinstein, of Spring Creek Productions. Jennifer Fox and Ben Cosgrove are executive producers, with Kevin McCormick shepherding the project at the studio.
