BACKWARDS JEN ANISTON

Published on: November 18, 2009

Jen Aniston outta sight, her mind in 1959?

Aniston is inked to play Dr. Ellen Langer, Ph.D., controversial Harvard psychologist and author of Counterclockwise: Mindful Health and the Power of Possibility.

Langer's 1974 controversial Counterclockwise study in which she recreated the year 1959 in the minds of those living in the present will be the crux of Jen's mind game time warp film.

"In the Counterclockwise study, we took old people and put their minds back 20 years earlier," Langer said in an interview.

"We had them live as if it was in fact 20 years earlier.

"They spoke about past events in the present tense.

"They were living in an environment that was retrofitted to that time period and the results were close to amazing. Their vision improved, their hearing improved [and] their cognitive abilities improved. We've even taken photographs of them at the beginning, and at the end of the week, people who knew nothing about the study evaluated the photos.

"According to these unbiased witnesses, they even looked younger."

Which means by the time this Jen film is released in 2010, she'll look years younger and be making Friends again.
