This article is more than 17 years oldJennifer Aniston is to play a Harvard professor of psychology who makes people feel younger through the power of suggestion.
Hollywood studio Universal Pictures is to produce Counter Clockwise, based on the real-life studies of US academic Ellen Langer, renowned for her work on the illusion of control, decision-making and ageing theories. The Friends star will produce the film and could play the lead role.
Counter Clockwise focuses on a study Langer conducted in which she reversed the ageing process of her subjects by making them believe they were younger. She wrote her findings in a study called Mindfulness. The study was also mentioned by New Age guru Deepak Chopra in Ageless Body, Timeless Mind.
Counter Clockwise's script was written by Paul Bernbaum, who wrote Hollywoodland, the well-received 50s LA-set drama about the death of Superman star George Reeves.
Aside from Counter Clockwise, Aniston is set to play a framed cop who attempts to break out of prison with cellmate Meryl Streep in next year's Wanted.
