Christine Baranski hires Jennifer Aniston's 'Bounty Hunter'

Christine Baranski may not be so proud to have Jennifer Aniston as a daughter.

Baranski will play mom to Aniston's bailjumper in the romantic comedy "The Bounty Hunter," according to Variety. The movie follows Aniston as she goes on the run from ex-husband Gerard Butler, the titular bounty hunter. No points for guessing the hunt rekindles their romance.

"Saturday Night Live" co-star Jason Sudeikis had previously signed on as Aniston's co-worker, who's (of course) convinced they're a romantic item.

Shooting is already under way around New York and New Jersey.

Baranski, meanwhile, got to dance and sing for 2008's "Mamma Mia!" She'll also co-star on the Julianna Margulies CBS drama "The Good Wife."
