It’s been quite a long time since we heard anything about Peter Bogdanovich’s Squirrel To Nuts. However now it’s back and has added Jennifer Aniston to the cast, according to THR. It also has a new name, She’s Funny That Way.
The movie will reteam her with Owen Wilson, with Jason Schwartzman, Cybil Shepherd, Eugene Levy and Kathryn Hahn (Olivia Wilde was previously mentioned for the film but it’s not known if she’s still attached). Aniston, who’s taking over the role from the previously attached Brie Larson, will play a prostitute turned Broadway actor who sees her two worlds collide. Wilson will be a big-name Broadway director who’s liked to hire Larson both professionally and personally, despite the fact that he’s married to the star of his latest play.
While Bogdanovich had planned to shoot last autum, he couldn’t get the money together, so he’s now selling the movie once more at the Berlin Film Festival with the hope of filming the movie this June.
Although Squirrel To The Nuts is a pretty rubbish title for a film, as it’s going to be produced by Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach, and directed by peter Bogdanovich, you’ve got to hope there’ll be something worthwhile about this upcoming comedy. And with them involved it’s almost guaranteed to be quirky.
