Two popular Hollywood actresses Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston are all set to star in a body-swap comedy film. Amazon Studios has just won a competitive bidding situation for the yet untitled dual lead film. For the unversed, a ‘body swap’ film deploys a narrative device where two of the movie’s characters somehow end up being in each other’s bodies. Previously, we have seen this concept in films like ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’, ‘Big’, ‘The Hot Chick’, ‘Freaky Friday’, ‘The Change-Up’, and ’17 Again’, amongst others.
The upcoming body swap movie starring Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston will have the two leading ladies whose bodies are exchanged somehow. The film will be written and directed by Max Marbakow, who is known for helming the 2020 sci-fi time-loop romantic comedy movie ‘Palm Springs’ featuring Andy Samberg, Cristin Milioti, and J. K. Simmons. However, nothing much is known about the new body swap movie’s precise plot details as of now.
Oscar winning actress Julia Roberts had last made her feature film appearance in another star driven romantic drama ‘Ticket to Paradise’ co-starring George Clooney. On the small screen, her most recent series was the political thriller ‘Gaslit’. And the ‘Notting Hill’ actress’s upcoming projects include Sam Esmail’s psychological thriller movie ‘Leave the World Behind’.
On the other hand, Emmy winner Jennifer Aniston, who came into international limelight after starring in the cult sitcom ‘Friends’, was last seen in a feature film project in the suspense comedy flick ‘Murder Mystery’, whose sequel is set to come out in a couple of months.
Considering the respective filmographies of both Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston, it would be interesting to see their on-screen chemistry in the forthcoming body swap movies by Amazon. Stay tuned to Binged for the latest updates on the same.
