LOS ANGELES, 19 (UPI) — Jennifer Garner is planning to follow up her starring role in the Broadway production of “Cyrano” with an appearance in the film, “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.”
The movie is about a consummate skirt-chaser visited by the apparitions of girlfriends past, present and future while he attends the wedding of his younger brother, Variety.com said Wednesday.
Garner, who is best-known for her action heroine role on TV’s “Alias,” will star alongside
Matthew McConaughey in “Ghosts,” which will be helmed by “Just Like Heaven” and “Mean Girls” director Mark Waters.
Shooting is scheduled to begin in January.
JENNIFER GARNER has signed up to play MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY’s ghostly girlfriend in a new film that was originally scheduled to star her husband BEN AFFLECK. Affleck pulled out of Ghosts of Girlfriends Past to concentrate on his directing career and MCConaughey took over. Garner will play a girlfriend who comes back to haunt MCConaughey’s character at a wedding. It’s the second role MCConaughey has taken on as a replacement to another actor in recent weeks – he’ll take over troubled Owen Wilson’s role in Ben Stiller comedy Tropic Thunder. Wilson was forced to pull out of the project after allegedly attempting suicide last month (Aug07).
LOS ANGELES — Jennifer Garner doesn’t plan to let her almost 2-year-old daughter, Violet, see mommy’s new war drama until she’s all grown up.
“I would put that off as long as I could,” said Garner at Monday’s premiere for The Kingdom, an R-rated film about an FBI unit that journeys to Saudi Arabia to investigate a murder (in theaters Sept. 28). “There’s a reason we have a ratings system.”
Neither Garner, 35, nor her co-star Jamie Foxx, 39, had any interest in war games as kids.
Garner, who grew up in West Virginia, said, “Playing war never ever would have interested me.” Rather, she enjoyed “reading, writing and pretending.”
And other than playing with his “little green army men,” Texas-born Foxx recalled no war play as a boy. “And none of my little green army men ever fired their guns,” said Foxx, an advocate for peace even back then. “My toy soldiers were partyin’.”
September 28th, 2007
“The Kingdom” — FBI team investigates a terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia in this political-thriller from Peter Berg. Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner star.
For five years she was known as the international super-sleuth Sydney Bristow, but these days Jennifer Garner is taking on more grounded roles which closely parallel current affairs.
J.J. Abrams could change all that, however … and all he has to do is ask.
According to Rotten Tomatoes, Garner is currently in talks to take on a role (and a pair of prosthetic ears) in the upcoming “Star Trek XI” film as a young love interest for Spock, who is being played by Zachary Quinto.
“Anything J.J. asked me to do ever, that’s a clear ‘Don’t even worry, the answer’s yes,’” she said. “I owe him.”
And that’s not all. If Abrams really wanted it, Garner would step back into the world of espionage, weapons trading and 15th century prophets for an “Alias” movie should the opportunity present itself.
“If J.J. were writing it and directing it, then absolutely,” Garner said. “I think we’d all sign on. I mean, it’s all in his crazy brain. But I haven’t heard. He certainly hasn’t mentioned that to me but I’d be there.”
“Alias” was also created by Abrams and ran for five years on ABC before being cancelled and hit with a shortened episode order due to ratings decline. The series also featured a few minor crossover events with “Lost” which Abrams also developed.
Filming is set to begin in November for “Star Trek XI,” aiming for a Christmas 2008 release.
It would be hard to argue with Jennifer Garner’s success on the big and small screens. But she says her first real career break comes Nov. 1 when she hits the Broadway stage.
Garner will play Roxanne to Kevin Kline’s long-beaked lover when “Cyrano de Bergerac” opens at the Richard Rodgers Theater in New York. The show will run through Dec. 23.
This marks Garner’s Broadway debut, and she calls it “the one thing I’ve really wanted to do all my life.”
“I’ve had such good luck in my career,” she says of her TV and film roles, which included playing Sydney Bristow in ABC’s “Alias” and a federal investigator in Sept. 28’s “The Kingdom.”
“But those were all accidents,” says Garner, 35. “The stage is what I dreamed about doing when I was a kid.”
So it makes sense that she rehearses with her own. Garner, who has a daughter, Violet, with husband Ben Affleck, says she prepares for the role when mother and daughter tuck in at night.
“I get under the covers with her and read my lines with a flashlight,” she says. “But I can only do two pages at a time. It wakes her if I turn the page. But what a great way to prepare.”
Nelly cracks his ‘Knuckles’
Nelly’s first single for his upcoming “Brass Knuckles” album finds him asking “Wadsyaname.” He says the playful tune is a fun way to reintroduce himself after a three-year absence.
The 14-track “Brass Knuckles” arrives Nov. 13 and will feature appearances by Snoop Dogg, Babyface, Lil Wayne, T.I., Rick Ross, Pimp C and Akon and production by the likes of Jermaine Dupri, Pharrell Williams and Bryan-Michael Cox. “Wadsyaname” was produced by newcomer Neff-U, who built the track around the piano line for K-Ci & JoJo’s 1998 hit “All My Life.”
“We were just in the studio playing around with the keys, and he played that and I remembered that that was the jam,” Nelly says. “I asked him to see if he could put a drumbeat with it, and we had it. It’s really a song that’s more for the ladies.”
“Brass Knuckles” is his first new album since he simultaneously released the albums “Suit” and “Sweat,” which premiered at No. 1 and 2 on the Billboard 200 chart in 2004. While the new album is not nearly as expansive, he’s still confident that it will do well even in a shrinking CD marketplace.
‘Standing’ joins reality tribe
Gone is much hint of the duplicity, sneakiness and snarkiness of, say, CBS’ “Survivor.” But there’s plenty of action and more than a few physical injuries on Discovery’s “Last One Standing,” which premieres Oct. 4 at 9 p.m.
In the 12-part series, six athletes are immersed in remote tribes, where their challenge is to live and train with indigenous tribesmen and then represent them in competition each week with other tribes. The series will crown the athlete who wins the most individual contests, which range from Zulu stick fighting to a foot race in the Mexican mountains, in which the contestants, wearing only handmade sandals, push their physical and mental limits.
“It looks like a program that would appeal to just guys because of the sporting aspect of it,” says Discovery programmer Mary Donahue. “But if we can get women to come to it, they will see heart and they will see a band-of-brothers aspect to it.”
Jennifer Garner banned co-stars from going near her boobs during fight scenes in her latest movie.
The Alias star – who was breastfeeding daughter Violet at the time of filming – revealed she got beaten up for real on the set of The Kingdom, but her breasts were off limits.
Jennifer told People magazine: “It was so down and dirty that I had scratch marks that we had to cover up on my face for the next few days.
“But the guy I was fighting had to stay away from my boobs because I was breastfeeding. That was the one sacred thing. He could go for my head, pull my hair, just not the boobs.
“I gave as good as I got, I even bit his ear. It was great!”
The 13 Going On 30 star also revealed her husband Ben Affleck was not at all concerned when he came to the set to watch her in the violent fight scenes.
She said: “He was just like ‘Go, go for it, babe! Harder!’ I thought it would have made him a little bit nervous to see people chucking me against the wall, harder and harder with every take.”
Jennifer plays a US government agent in action film The Kingdom which is set in Saudi Arabia, though it was filmed in the Arizona desert. The action star recently revealed she collapsed on set in the desert temperatures which reached 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
She said: “I succumbed to the heat a couple of times. I was still breastfeeding my baby and everything your body needs, all the electrolytes goes to the baby, and so my system was all screwed up and I got heat stroke twice.
“They gave me an IV and sent me back out!”
The Kingdom stars Jamie Foxx, Chris Cooper and Jason Bateman.
JENNIFER GARNER landed her upcoming Broadway debut in CYRANO after actor KEVIN KLINE remembered her from an audition she did with him when she was a struggling actress. The Daredevil star grew up loving the theatre and always dreamed of taking the stage in New York – and, thanks to thespian Kline’s memory, she’s now getting her big break. She explains, “I auditioned with Kevin 12 years ago for a play at Lincoln Center… He has been kind enough to always remember me from that audition and that’s part of how this role came about.” Garner turned down a blockbuster movie role to play Roxane opposite Kline after missing out on a Broadway debut in 1995 – when she was forced to turn down the chance to star in a play opposite Helen Mirren after being offered a TV mini-series role. She tells WENN, “I understudied Kate Erbe in A Month In The Country on Broadway in 1995, and she was so great because she was gonna take a day off and give me my Broadway debut. “But I got a mini-series and I had to take it because I was broke. I was totally broke and living on this woman’s kitchen floor.” Garner insists she won’t be as generous to her understudy: “My friend (actor) Victor Garber was telling me, ‘You can’t miss performances. It’s tacky.’”
Award-winning Hollywood actress Jennifer Garner, left, has been signed to front a series of New Zealand ads for the skincare product Neutrogena.
Jen, wife of heart-throb Ben Affleck, will soon light up our screens to promote a breakthrough moisturising sunscreen designed for Kiwis. Best known for her lead role in the hit TV series Alias, she is also known for her natural beauty.
She has appeared in many feature films, including 13 Going on 30, Catch and Release, Daredevil, Pearl Harbour and Catch Me if You Can.
The 34-year-old recently completed filming Fox Searchlight’s Juno and can soon be seen in Universal Pictures’ The Kingdom, starring opposite Jamie Foxx.
The Kingdom, which is directed by Peter Berg, will be released around the globe on September 29. It will also star Jason Bateman, Chris Cooper, Andrew Astor and Brooke Langton.
