Aniston, Butler in talks to star in untitled comedy

Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler may team up for an untitled Columbia bounty hunter comedy Andy Tennant is attached to direct.

Variety says Butler would play a bounty hunter hired to find and bring in his ex-wife (Aniston) because she skipped bail. Sounds funny for now.

The trade says Sarah Thorp wrote the script. That scares me a bit, because she also penned "Twisted," this horrendous 2003 thriller with Ashley Judd, Samuel L. Jackson and Andy Garcia. Shew, that was a terrible film.

Anyway, what are these folks doing now? Aniston has a couple of projects coming up, including "Marley & Me" and "He's Just Not That Into You."

As for Butler, he most recently starred in "RocknRolla." He will next star opposite Katherine Heigl in "The Ugly Truth."

Director Andy Tennant's credits include the entertaining "Hitch" and disastrous "Fool's Gold."
