Horrible Bosses is an upcoming black comedy film directed by Seth Gordon and starring Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx, Jason Sudeikis, and Kevin Spacey.
The movie's premise follows a trio of long-suffering friends who team up to murder their respective overbearing bosses with disastrous results.
The trailer, released earlier this week, provides a preview for just how far Aniston has come since she played Rachel Green on "Friends." Stripped down to her underwear, Aniston seductively eats a Popsicle, a banana and a hot dog.
"There's a whole bunch of things she does that couldn't be put in this trailer. Stuff you won't believe," director Seth Gordon told Entertainment Weekly. "It's really exciting to see her do something a bit further … afield, if you will."
That's not all. Later this fall, Aniston could also appear topless in Judd Apatow's "Wanderlust," in which Aniston and Paul Rudd play a couple who drop out of the rat race to become hippies. According to HollywoodLife.com, Aniston not only rips off her shirt, she smokes pot and has a threesome.
Maybe this new Aniston is hoping that going topless can do for her career what it did for Halle Berry's. If you recall, Berry went topless in "Swordfish" opposite John Travolta, before baring her skin in "Monsters Ball," for which she won an Oscar.
Or maybe she's hoping Apatow, creator of "Knocked Up," can work his magic on her. He has made stars of some of his actresses, notably Katherine Heigl.
Either way, Aniston could use the career boost. Her last movie, "Switch," came in eighth its opening weekend and was pounded by critics. It was the latest in a recent string of flops at the box office. Before "Switch," there was 2010's "The Bounty Hunter" with co-star Gerard Butler, 2009's "Love Happens," with Aaron Eckhart, and the dismal dark comedy "Management" with Steve Zahn, also in 2009, which earned a paltry $935,000 at the box office.
