Jennifer Aniston Falls for Steve Zahn

Aniston in Belber’s Management: Jennifer Aniston signs on to Management, romantic comedy that serves as playwright Stephen Belber’s directing debut. Steve Zahn co-stars as an assistant motel manager who falls for Aniston’s saleswoman and pursues her across the country. Presumably it’s reciprocated eventually, because otherwise this becomes a horror movie really quickly. Actually, we’d probably rather watch that. [Variety]

Macy a Family Man: TNT green-lights one-hour pilot for Family Man, which stars William H. Macy as a loving father who leads a dysfunctional gang of burglars. Sounds like the role hits Macy right in his bumbling, goofball sweet spot! [HR]

A Dream Postponed: The Public Theater postpones its first preview of A Midsummer Night’s Dream owing to the trapdoor fall and injury of director Daniel Sullivan earlier this week. Sullivan fractured ribs and collapsed a lung in the fall, but the show will miss only one preview. Shakespeare’s royalties unaffected. [Playbill]

Rodriguez Joins Avatar: James Cameron’s first post-Titanic feature, Avatar, is rounding out its cast, adding Michelle Rodriguez and Stephen Lang (Off Broadway’s Beyond Glory) to its story of Marines at bay on a faraway planet. 3-D motion-capture film will shoot its live-action references in October. [Variety]

The Spirit Cast: Relative unknown Gabriel Macht is cast as the title character in Will Eisner’s The Spirit, written and directed by Frank Miller. By “title character� we mean The Spirit, not Will Eisner. Unless this is some kind of comic-book biopic focusing on Eisner’s indomitable spirit as he battles … no. [Variety]

Art Brut, Hold Steady to Tour: Cross-Atlantic indie-rock stars Art Brut and the Hold Steady will tour together this fall. Pitchfork happily sums up the potential audience for these shows as “rock critics + drunks,� to which we respond with the below Venn diagram. [Pitchfork]
