Jennifer Garner - Juno #1

From imdb:

Quote:

Faced with an unplanned pregnancy, an offbeat young woman makes an unusual and bizarre decision regarding her unborn child.

Jen plays a woman who can't have children, and wants to adopt.

I've just gathered some of the things other posters have posted in the Media thread and other threads at the board, and put them up here. Thanks, guys.

Info on the movie here.

Quote:

Jennifer Garner has kicked butt on "Alias" and kicked up her heels on the dance floor in "13 Going on 30." Now she hopes to kick her career into overdrive with a red-hot Hollywood script concerning teen pregnancy. "I am about to work on a little independent movie called 'Juno,' " she said, naming the soon-to-film follow up from director Jason Reitman, the Golden Globe-nominated phenom behind "Thank You for Smoking." Reached for comment, Reitman confirmed the news hesitantly. "Jen Garner? Where are you getting your information from?" he grinned, sheepishly adding: "I can't wait to work with Jennifer Garner." Of the film's plot, Reitman said: "It's about a 16-year-old girl who gets pregnant and gives her baby up for adoption then starts dating the adoptive father." Ellen Page ("Hard Candy") will play the title character, and Michael Cera ("Arrested Development") is also attached. Laughing, the director added: "[Garner] plays the adoptive mother, but that information is not out yet. ... Man, you guys are sneaky!" To further the scoop, the 34-year-old Mrs. Affleck said this of the character: "I play this woman that can't have children of her own and is trying to adopt Juno's baby." Reitman, Garner and the others will begin shooting the film — which will include a high-powered, grunge-fueled soundtrack — later this year. "It's gonna be Jen Garner like you've never seen her before," Reitman promised. "She's amazing." ...

Jen also talked a little about the movie at the Catch and Release press conference.

Also, here's an interview with writer Diablo Cody on Letterman.

Writer Diablo Cody's blog.

Shooting is expected to start around mid-February in Vancouver.

That's the main gist for now.

Hooray for the Juno thread!

There hasn't been any official news about who is cast as the husband, but I assuming that it's Luke Wilson. I didn't see his name in imdb yet.

John Malkovich is one of the producer. Alright.

Eliii · 01-21-2007, 03:52 PM

I love Luke Wilson. He's so cute.

Yes he is. He has this quirkiness about him. I can see him and Jen onscreen together.

Oh no. Very happy about it. I've been a fan for awhile.

I was surprised to see this movie is a comedy, too...I thought it would be 100% drama. Shooting starts feb.14, valentienes day... maybe she'll take Ben to work that day, lol

Thanks for the info.

Ooh, it's a comedy! It sounds like it would have been a drama to me when I read what the plot line is. But it sounds like a pretty good movie and has me interested. And It would be great to see Jen and Luke on the screen together. I do like him and they'd be good to watch together I think.

I know this is kind off topic, but Diablo Cody mentioned in her blog about how she will be off to Vancouver and blah blah about writers on the set and getting Vancouver Hair. I must say I'm enjoy her Candy Girl book and she is a very funny writer.

Anyway. Hopefully HNR will probably have some fan sighting and other Juno related news soon.

Aw, yay. I'll have to look for her in the bookstore.

Yeah, hope HNR comes through like always before.

Filming is set for Valentine's Day. Diablo Cody, as of Feb 9th per her blog, is already in Vancouver, hopefully JG will follow soon.

LOL

Isn't that too funny.

I'm going to have to stay away from her blog while filming is going on. At some point I just need to cut myself off from these things to remain spoiler free.

green tree · 02-15-2007, 07:57 PM

She IS brilliantly comic. I think I won't mind the spoilers..the reading is way too good. I'm looking forward to read Candy Girl, too.

I know. I was just reading the latest entries and I want to stay away so bad. I think we are close to being off topic sort of. Hee.

Eliii · 02-21-2007, 08:08 AM

Hee, fab picture.

My Google alert just popped up with an article from this site. But the link didn't work, and I can't find the article at the page, so I don't know all it said, but the intro went like this: "Jennifer Garner's visit to Vancouver is shaping up to be a short one. The A-list actress is slated to spend less than two weeks here for her role in the ..."
