Garner Signs First Look Deal With WB
The lovely, in all senses, Jennifer Garner has signed a first look deal with Warner Bros. for her production company, which she runs with Juliana Janes. The pair currently have six projects in development, though they won't all necessarily star Garner. Those projects are:

– A remake of the Japanese supernatural drama Be With You, which concerns a woman who comes back from the dead for a second chance at figuring out her reason for existing. The script is currently being written by Allan Loeb.

Arranged, a contemporary story of arranged marriage. The script for this was all written by Loeb, but is being polished by Grey's Anatomy writer Krista Vernoff, so expect lots of characters whose names start with 'Mc'.

– An adaptation of Linda Francis Lee's novel Devil In The Junior League. The story follows a stuffy, Southern socialite whose husband runs off with another woman and all the money. That's being written by Kate Kondell.

Sabbatical, written by John Brownlow, the story of a couple who take a break from each other after seven years of marriage in order to bring the spark back to their relationship.

The Garden of Last Days, which is based on an upcoming novel by Andrew Dubus III, who wrote The House of Sand and Fog (he seems to have a thing for areas of the home built from intangibles). No story details are known, but Garner is set to star in this one.

3 Days In Europe, which Garner should star in with Hugh Jackman, who will also produce. Based on Anthony Johnston and Mike Hawthorne's graphic novel, it tells the romantic adventure of a couple who face danger on their Valentine's Day holiday.

Three Days in Europe
You had me at Hugh Jackman! Any idea how definite it is that the two of them will star in this? Or is it all still in development/talks/drafts/thingy stage, subject to change and schedules and all that? Although, having just read a plot synopsis online, it sounds potentially a bit 'meh'. ... Read More

Hmmm, she's got a thing for themes of romance, both true and broken. Was she involved in Juno beyond acting in it? ... Read More
