Whoever worked out the casting of Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler for the upcoming Columbia project about a bounty hunter who is hired to retrieve his ex-wife, who skipped bail, is one smart producer. 

Right now, I can’t think of any better comedic casting. If you watch the trailers for The Ugly Truth and Marley & Me, which stars Butler and Aniston, respectively, you will be inclined to agree with me that these two actors will create a laughable harmony – if such flair is possible in the script and direction.  

Hitch director Andy Tennant is set to direct the comedy.

The studio is hoping for a May start date.
