Trailer for Star-studded Comedy 'She's Funny that Way' with Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston

It has been more than a decade since acclaimed director Peter Bogdanovich's last feature, but clearly he hasn't lost an ounce of clout. He was able to gather Owen Wilson, Imogen Poots, Jennifer Aniston, Will Forte, Rhys Ifans, and many more for the screwball comedy She's Funny That Way, and now the first trailer is here to show how he puts all that talent to use.

The film centers on a prostitute/aspiring actress who has a fling with a very married Broadway director, then complicates matters by showing up to star in his new play which has his wife in the leading role. Does it all come together? Early reviews have been mixed but this trailer makes it look pretty stale.

She's Funny that Way opens April 10th.

First Look at Owen Wilson, Imogen Poots and Jennifer Aniston in Peter Bogdanovich's 'She's Funny That Way'

The last film from renowned director Peter Bogdanovich was 2001's Charlie Chaplin mystery, The Cat's Meow, which I consider a very dear favorite even though most don't think much of it. In the thirteen years since he has kept fairly quiet, but now he's back with the screwball comedy She's Funny That Way (formerly Squirrel to the Nuts), and he hasn't lost his touch for attracting big names.

The first images from the film have been released, giving us a look at stars Jennifer Aniston, Owen Wilson, Imogen Poots, and Kathryn Hahn. Poots plays a call girl hired by the director (Wilson) of a Broadway production, even though the lead actress (Hahn) is his wife. Will Forte co-stars as a playwright who falls for Poots' character, which causes problems because he's dating her therapist played by Anistion.

Also starring Will Forte, Lucy Punch, Eugene Levy, Cybil Shepherd, Ahna O'Reilly, Richard Lewis, and Joanna Lumley, She's Funny That Way will be part of the Venice Film Festival. [via ThePlaylist]
