Jennifer Aniston has signed on to star opposite Aaron Eckhart in the Universal Pictures' drama 'Traveling'.

The movie will mark Brandon Camp's directorial debut, and was co-written by him and by longtime writing partner Mike Thompson.

In the pic, Aniston will be playing a floral designer who works in a Seattle hotel where a charismatic self-help guru is conducting a weekend seminar on coping with grief.

As he gets to know Aniston's character, the guru realises that he practices none of the principles he teaches, reports Variety.

Stuber/Parent's Scott Stuber and Mary Parent will produce with Thompson, with filming for the pic set to being early next year.

Currently the former 'Friends' star is busy filming a small role in New? Line's ensembler "She's Just Not That Into You", after which she moves onto Stephen Belber-directed pic "Management" with Steve Zahn.

She is also booked to star in the David Frankel-directed Fox 2000 pic "Marley and Me" with Owen Wilson, but that picture has been postponed until at least spring.
