Jennifer Aniston, Demi Moore On Board Lifetime Original

LOS ANGELES: Jennifer Aniston, Alicia Keys, Demi Moore and Monster director Patty Jenkins have signed on to direct an anthology of five short films from Sony Pictures Television for Lifetime exploring the impact of breast cancer on people’s lives.

Project Five will be exec-produced by Aniston, Marta Kauffman (Friends), Paula Wagner (The Last Samurai), Kristin Hahn (The Departed), Kevin Chinoy (Greg the Bunny) and Francesca Silvestri (Greg the Bunny). Under Kauffman’s supervision, writers Stephen Godshaux, Jill Gordon, Howard Morris, Deirdre O’Connor and Wendy West have written a film included in Project Five, which will be produced by Sony Pictures Television, Echo Films and Chestnut Ridge Productions. The film’s fifth director will be announced in the coming weeks.

"Our hope with Project Five is to entertain, inform and inspire dialogue, research and prevention," Aniston said. "Otherwise, our goals are small. We want these films to move people and empower those affected by breast cancer to stand tall through this challenge, which impacts ALL of our lives, no matter who we are."

Nancy Dubuc, president and general manager of Lifetime Networks, noted, "I’m a big fan of this amazing group of powerful and creative women, and we are thrilled to be working with them on Project Five. It’s an awesome feeling to be able to give them such a strong platform to do what they do best—entertain and tell great stories—so that we all educate viewers about breast cancer through these five films of courage, love and hope."
