Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston will star in Marley & Me, the Fox 2000 adaptation of John Grogan’s bestselling memoir about an incorrigible Labrador retriever.

Since Jen and Owen are both dog owners, we’re hoping for lots of cute dog stories and candids of their dogs on the set.

David Frankel, who last directed The Devil Wears Prada for the studio, will direct here as well. Plan is to begin production next year.

Marley is the yellow lab adopted by Grogan, a columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer, and his wife. Their idea was to give them a taste of parenthood, but the dog proved to be a hyperactive handful. He wreaks havoc, gets kicked out of obedience school and gets even worse when the children begin to arrive, yet becomes an indispensable part of the family.

Wilson will next be seen in The Darjeeling Limited, recently wrapped Drillbit Taylor and is filming Tropic Thunder for director Ben Stiller.

Aniston recently committed to Management and she is reportedly in talks to play a small role in the ensemble of He’s Just Not That Into You for New Line.
