JENNIFER ANISTON - JOHN C REILLY LANDS BAD GUY ROLE

After being cheated on by movie wives JENNIFER ANISTON and RENEE ZELLWEGER, actor JOHN C REILLY is set to get his own back by playing the bad guy.

The OSCAR-nominated screen star, who starred as Aniston's husband in THE GOOD GIRL and Zellweger's long-suffering spouse in hit musical CHICAGO, has teamed up with STEVEN SODERBERGH and GEORGE CLOONEY's production company SECTION EIGHT for CRIMINAL, a remake of the Argentine con-man caper NINE QUEENS.

The film is scheduled to begin production in June (03).

Co-star DIEGO LUNA of Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN and FRIDA fame will play Reilly's partner in a lucrative scam involving forged postage stamps.
