She recently starred in back-to-back comedy hits: “Horrible Bosses,” joining an all-star ensemble cast, including Jason Sudeikis, Kevin Spacey and Colin Farrell; and “Just Go with It,” opposite Adam Sandler. Now, Jennifer Aniston showcases her funny side once again as a stripper-turned-pretend-mom in New Line Cinema’s envelope-pushing comedy “We’re the Millers.”

In the film, David Clark (Sudeikis) is a small-time pot dealer who, in order to pay a huge debt to his supplier, Brad (Ed Helms) must now become a big-time drug smuggler by bringing Brad’s latest shipment in from Mexico. Twisting the arms of his neighbors, cynical stripper Rose (Aniston) and wannabe customer Kenny (Will Poulter), as well as streetwise teen Casey (Emma Roberts), David devises a foolproof plan. One fake wife, two pretend kids and a huge, shiny RV later, the “Millers” are headed south of the border for a Fourth of July weekend that is sure to end with a bang.

Rose reluctantly accepts David’s proposal to be his “wife” only after she realizes she has no other choice. “She does not initially agree to sign on for this adventure because, despite being a stripper, she has morals, she has boundaries, and breaking the law is not something she is willing to do,” Aniston says. “But the rules are changing at work in a way that she doesn’t agree with, and she’s broke. And David’s offered to pay her a lot of money, so she feels she has no choice but to go along.”

“Rose is the kind of woman who’s had bad experiences with boyfriends, trusted the wrong people, been taken advantage of, and fell into stripping because she didn’t have a lot of options,” producer Chris Bender observes. “David’s offer is only slightly more palatable to her than what she might have to do if she doesn’t accept it, but it is more palatable…and, after all, it’s only for a weekend.”

Aniston and Sudeikis has worked together several times before, but this was the first time they would star opposite each other. “When we finished working on ‘Horrible Bosses,’” Aniston offers, “we both wanted to find something really great to do together again—and for the full length of the film, not just little snippets. Jason is so much fun and a friend, and the script was so funny, it was easy to say yes to this one.”

“One thing I don’t think any director can do is create chemistry,” director Rawson Marshall Thurber states. “I think you just cross your fingers and hope it’s there, and in this case we were incredibly fortunate. As early as the first week, we were filming a two-shot of Jen and Jason, and they were playing off of each other and it was so fun and easy and charming. They just clicked in the way I had hoped for.”

Aniston attests, “Jason’s improvisational skills are fantastic, just masterful. That led to some awesome volleying back and forth between the two of us.”

Thurber encouraged his cast to be creative, which Aniston thoroughly enjoyed. “I love working with a director who steps back and lets us do what we do and have as much fun with it as we wanted. Rawson really trusted us to do our jobs, and to find that balance between the grounded and screwball, and for me, playing the reality of the insanity was the most fun.”

Rated R-16 Without Cuts, New Line Cinema’s “We’re The Millers” opens across the Philippines on Sept. 18 and is distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

BURBANK, CA – One of the most talked about hits of the summer, New Line Cinema’s “We’re the Millers” has surpassed $100 million at the U.S. box office, it was announced recently by Dan Fellman, President, Domestic Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures. The movie crossed the $100 million mark on Friday, August 30, and is still climbing.

The film has a staggered release pattern internationally, and the performance in the few early markets has been quite strong. Cumulative international box office is an estimated $33 million, with many territories yet to release, including such key markets as France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Brazil and the Philippines where it is scheduled to open on Wednesday, Sept. 18.

In making the announcement, Fellman stated, “‘We’re the Millers’’ fake family is a genuine hit, and their hilarious road trip, combined with strong word of mouth, have been driving audiences to theaters across America since its release. We expect this incredibly funny cast, led by Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis, to continue providing moviegoers with big laughs in the weeks to come.”

From New Line Cinema comes the action comedy “We’re the Millers,” starring Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis. The film is directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber.

In the film, David Clark (Sudeikis) is a small-time pot dealer whose clientele includes chefs and soccer moms, but no kids—after all, he has his scruples.  So what could go wrong?  Plenty.  Preferring to keep a low profile for obvious reasons, he learns the hard way that no good deed goes unpunished when he tries to help out some local teens and winds up getting jumped by a trio of gutter punks.  Stealing his stash and his cash, they leave him in major debt to his supplier, Brad (Ed Helms).

In order to wipe the slate clean—and maintain a clean bill of health—David must now become a big-time drug smuggler by bringing Brad’s latest shipment in from Mexico.  Twisting the arms of his neighbors, cynical stripper Rose (Aniston) and wannabe customer Kenny (Will Poulter), as well as streetwise teen Casey (Emma Roberts), he devises a foolproof plan.  One fake wife, two pretend kids and a huge, shiny RV later, the “Millers” are headed south of the border for a Fourth of July weekend that is sure to end with a bang.

The film also stars Emma Roberts, Nick Offerman, Kathryn Hahn, Will Poulter and Ed Helms.

What do you get when a drug dealer, a stripper, a runaway and a virgin go on a marijuana run to Mexico? In addition to an RV stuffed to the gills with pot, an angry drug lord, a vicious tarantula, a pornographic game of Pictionary and an impromptu sing-along, you get the Millers…if anyone asks.

From New Line Cinema comes the action comedy “We’re the Millers,” starring Jennifer Aniston and Jason Sudeikis.

Director Rawson Marshall Thurber says, “It's a really clever take on the tried-and-true family road trip comedy—a wild ride that kind of keeps you guessing a bit which is what immediately appealed to me about the story.”

The filmmaker liked the rationale that unites this group of outsiders. “A white male in his mid-30s traveling alone across the border in a Hyundai is going to get searched, nine times out of 10,” he reasons. “But a giant RV, with your basic all-American family inside on the July 4th holiday weekend—nobody’s going to be the wiser, right?”

It sounds like a great plan that turns out to be a not-so-great plan at all…and not just because of all the laws they’re breaking and the crazed drug kingpins hot on their heels.

“David Clark is a small-time drug dealer who peddles his wares out of a backpack, and is being sent on a mission to retrieve this huge amount of pot,” says producer Chris Bender. “His solution as to how to accomplish that forces him to live out his worst nightmare: to be stuck in a confined space with a bunch of people he doesn’t really like, even if he’s the one who convinced them to come along in the first place as his fake wife and kids.”

Twisting the arms of his neighbors, cynical stripper Rose (Aniston) and wannabe customer Kenny (Will Poulter), as well as streetwise teen Casey (Emma Roberts), David (Sudeikis) devises a foolproof plan. One fake wife, two pretend kids and a huge, shiny RV later, the “Millers” are headed south of the border for a Fourth of July weekend that is sure to end with a bang.

The idea for “We’re The Millers” was actually born at the border. Writer Steve Faber remembers, “I used to take ponderous drives down to Mexico, just to clear my head, and at the border, I'd see the same guy getting busted: hair down to his ass, driving a VW bus, drug-sniffing dogs tearing at him. I thought, ‘Why not clean up? Age yourself, cut your hair, even rent a motorhome and smuggle the weed over the border, if that's your intent?’ Not that I approve.”

Writer Bob Fisher made similar observations, noting, “Meanwhile, motorhomes filled with vacationing families sailed through without a search. That brought about the idea for a movie about a small-time pot dealer who rents a motorhome and hires a fake family to help him get a pile of weed across the border.”

Screenwriting team Sean Anders and John Morris was keen to flesh out the concept even further. “We were drawn to the idea of four broken, lonely people who inadvertently become a family. Watching them fight it, kicking and screaming, while deep down longing for it seemed like the perfect bedrock for comedy."

“What the writers did in creating the foursome that make up the Millers, and the terrific characters that surround them on this fun and frenetic adventure, I thought was pretty delicious,” Thurber smiles.

New Line Cinema’s “We’re The Millers” opens across the Philippines this September and is distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
