Aniston goes Traveling
Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart are set to star in the romantic drama Traveling, which is scheduled to shoot Jan. 14 to March 6 in B.C. for Universal. Screenwriter Brandon Camp (Dragonfly) makes his directorial debut, working from the script he cowrote with Mike Thompson about a self-help writer who falls for a woman who attends one of his seminars, only to realize he has not yet come to terms with the death of his wife. It shoots until March and is due on screens in 2008.
