Jennifer Aniston's pet project
That is 'Marley and Me', -- that would be the dog Marley -- literally eats the furniture. Jenn Aniston recalls her introduction to her costar, It is a yellow lab named Clyde. Jennifer Aniston says "I walked onto the set and put my sweater and my bag down on the couch, and that dog leapt up onto the couch, grabbed my sweater and started ripping it,". Then The trainers responded immediately, but not as she expected. "They said, 'good, good boy!' and gave him treats." No wonder Clyde came to work every day with a big smile. "The set was a toy." :(You know...Clyde and 21 compatriots who played Marley were constantly rewarded for bad behavior. They call it Method dog training. It was all in service to the role. The Fox film, opening Dec. 25, is based on the book of the same name by John Grogan, culled from his popular newspaper columns about life with his wife, Jenny, their children and their pet Marley, the worst dog in the world.
She is delighted to be able to go back and forth between studio and independent films -- "one for me, one for you" as she puts it -- but feels like Jennifer Aniston accomplished both with this one. There are some movie sets that are a blast to be on, but "it didn't quite make it up on the screen. Or it was hell, but it worked," Jennifer Aniston says. "When you actually can have [the finished film] be as fantastic and fulfilling as the experience itself was, it's called a home run. A creative, emotional home run. Those moments don't happen that often."
Good Luck Jenn!
