Echo Films has signed a first-look agreement with Universal and will develop movies for Aniston to star in.
The company recently picked up the rights to Getting Rid of Matthew, Jane Fallon's novel about a publicist whose affair with a married man is ruined when he decides to leave his wife and two children. Fallon will write the film's screenplay.
Universal and Echo will also team on The Divorce Party, about a couple who divorce on their 35th wedding anniversary; Counter-Clockwise, based on a true story about a Harvard psychologist who tries to reverse the aging process; and Love: Todd, about a veteran tennis star who falls in love with a teen player.
"We particularly like working from books and real-life stories about distinct characters that embody something relatable and relevant about human nature's double-sided coin of vulnerability and mettle," Hahn said.
Aniston is currently filming Marley & Me with Owen Wilson.
