Aniston vs. Pitt, Part 2
Feb. 6 2009, Published 4:27 a.m. ET
(Photo: Splash News Online) Remember how we all sorta watched Jennifer Aniston's Marley & Me battle it out at the box office when it opened against her ex Brad Pitt's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button?
Jen won that box office battle (though Brad got the Oscar nom.)
Now we may get round 2. Jen has just signed to costar with Jason Bateman in the new artificial insemination laffer The Baster, which will be directed by Will Speck and Josh Gordon, who gave us Blades of Glory.
On the same day, it was announced that Pitt will star in Moneyball, about a baseball general manager who uses a computer to build a team of talent, not "names," that can win the World Series. That one will probably be directed by the Ocean's franchise helmer Steven Soderbergh.
Let the countdown begin!
