Jennifer Aniston and producing partner Kristin Hahn are forming their own production company, Echo Films, which will reportedly start with a first-look deal at Universal Pictures.
“We’re drawn to stories about people finding their voice and finding their way because they help us … [make] sense of our lives through the stories of others,” Aniston said in a statement. “That’s why we chose the name Echo, to echo back an idea, a challenge, something that resonates through all of us.”
According to industry magazine Variety, the pair have already acquired the rights to several projects – some designed as star vehicles for Aniston.
They include the rights to Jane Fallon’s U.K. bestseller Getting Rid of Matthew and Laura Dave’s The Divorce Party.
The duo — both formerly part of Plan B films with Aniston’s ex-husband Brad Pitt — are also tackling true-life stories, including Counter-Clockwise (about a Harvard aging study) and The Goree Girls (about a wrongly accused woman who starts an all-female band in prison).
Aniston, 39, is currently filming Marley & Me with Owen Wilson in Miami.
