According to Deadline, Margot Robbie, Tom Ackerley, and Josey McNamara's LuckyChap Entertainment production company will cast Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston in a body-swap comedy movie. Additionally, Max Barbakow, who pitched the movie last week, will write and direct the upcoming Amazon Studios production, according to the source. Furthermore, Deadline reported that Roberts' Red Om Films, Aniston's Echo Films, and Barbarow will produce alongside LuckyChap. On another note, the romantic comedy Ticket to Paradise, in which Roberts, 55, co-starred with her longtime friend and former on-screen co-worker George Clooney, recently found success. According to reports, the movie has made approximately $170 million worldwide since its October 2022 release after debuting to $16.3 million in American box office revenue.

The Pretty Woman actress reportedly said in May, "It's so funny and George is so funny, and George and I together, it's probably going to be terrible because there's too much potential for it to be great. It'll just implode on itself."
