John Mayer can breathe easy—turns out, Jennifer Aniston's rumor-sparking dinner date with Gerard Butler was about business after all.
According to Variety, Aniston and Butler are talks to star in an as-yet untitled comedy centering on a bounty hunter whose latest mark just so happens to be his ex-wife, who is wanted after skipping out on bail. Hitch director Andy Tennant will helm the flick, which starts shooting this May.
In other big casting news:
• Ben Affleck is using his star power to raise Arizona, a real-life drama that will allow the Gone, Baby, Gone director his second shot behind the camera. Per Variety, Affleck will direct the film about an Arizona Republic reporter killed in a 1976 car bombing while investigating an organized crime ring. It's unclear if Affleck will also appear in the film.
• It's all a numbers game for Keanu Reeves. The Matrix maven has signed on to star in 47 Ronin, according to Variety. Set in 18th century Japan, the film will follow the true story of a group of samurai swordsmen who avenge the death of their master and are still revered today.
