Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis In Talks To Join 'We're The Millers'

'Horrible Bosses' co-stars to reunite?

Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis are in negotiations to join "We're The Millers," a supposedly "Vacation"-esque comedy about a drug dealer who enlists the help of a prostitute and some juvenile delinquents to pose as his family so he can smuggle 1,000 pounds of marijuana across the country in an RV. Sudeikis would ostensibly play the drug dealer, Aniston his fake wife. No word as yet as to who would play their fake kids.

Clever conceit for a comedy? The (potential) talent attached gives us hope. Still, it's not too difficult to surmise where the story might go. For example, the two leads end up falling in genuine love, and put aside their criminal ambitions to start a real family with the runaways they've enlisted to "play" their sons. Since the screenplay was written by Bob Fisher and Steve Faber, the team behind "Wedding Crashers," that doesn't seem all that implausible. And since David Heyman ("Harry Potter") is one of the listed producers, could Daniel Radcliffe play one of their delinquent children?

Probably not. There's a better chance that the finished film ends up featuring a cameo by one (or two) of Sudeikis and Aniston's "Horrible Bosses" co-stars. That is, assuming the pair actually agrees to star in the film. Here's hoping. And, as always, we'll bring you more details as they become available.

MDBBALL FAN,

 

Are you out of your mind? "Wannabe actors from SNL." Jennifer Aniston is probably the WORST actress in history! You actually put her and Merryl Streep in the same sentence, let alone the same paragraph?! Get a grip and put down your PEOPLE Magazine!

God no.  And why is the author of this article so jazzed about the possibility?  Aniston has been a liability when she is anything more than a side character.  Stop giving her leads.  No one wants to see a Jen Aniston movie.  Ever.  People are fine seeing her in movies, but as soon as most people find she is a lead in a movie, they tune out the idea of seeing it.

Plot twist. Sudeikis learns to loathe her during the cross country trip and kills her about a third of the way through the film. Then at least 2/3 of the film might be funny. The poor girl is terrible, picks poor projects and yet, people seem to care about her both as a person and as an actress. Just don't get it.

She's probably a very nice person, but why is this woman still getting work?  This reminds me of Adam Sandler. He's horrible and not funny yet he continues to release movies.  I'm really confused.

Another bomb by Aniston.   How much money can Universal Studios afford to lose on this B movie queen.   You think they would have learned from Wanderlust.  My $15 will be donated to the poor instead.

Lotta stupid statements by the homophobic, the jealous, and the ignorant. 

But to correct a few, no, her movies do NOT make good money.  They are always expected to, and they have consistently flopped.

And who is the fool who thinks someone who breaks up a lot must be gay?  Do you live in this world?

Doesnt anyone realize the issue with this one is that she is a LEZ!

Why else so many breakups with so many men ?

Come on its a secret she does not want out -yet.

When she is ready she will come out- It will boost her sagging movie interest too.

Really Jen?  A movie about smuggling DRUGS across the country with some Jack-- and some stray kids in it?  You know this will appeal to the sophomoric moronic crowd, and it is a really sick subject for a humorous movie.  You can (and should) do better than these pathetic slapstick spoofs with wannabe actors from SNL...They are using YOU to cross over and pulling your credentials down in the process....At the end of the day, it's not the total NUMBER of movies you made that is impressive and makes you immortal, it's the number of GOOD ones you were in and the memorable performance in those GOOD ones!  People like Meryl Streep don't make a bad movie ... you SHOULD hold yourself to a better standard!

She gives us light and fun and you can't get enough of that!  Her movies make her and the studios big bucks - I would like to see her a real meaty role someday but this works for them.  I never miss her movies.
