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’.”

“Catch and Release star Jennifer Garner tells ComingSoon.net that her next project is the Jason Reitman-directed comedy, Juno, co-starring Ellen Page.

“It’s this wonderful script that I have been waiting for to come together for the past year and when Jason came onto it, I was so excited,” Garner said. “I’m so excited they asked me to be in it and I have a small role. I’m only working a couple weeks and it’s just cool.”

Garner added the the film was “written by this kooky woman named Diablo Cody. Have you ever heard of her? She just decided randomly to become a stripper for a year. It isn’t about that but you could look her up. She’s pretty funny. Anyway, her personality infuses the whole script so it’s going to be fun.”

The former “Alias” star will “play a woman who can’t have children and who is wanting to adopt.”

Filming starts this February in Vancouver.”
