Jennifer Aniston’s upcoming film “Love Happens” may not actually come out this weekend, according to Cinematical and TMZ. Two screenwriters for another film called “The Truth” claim that the script for “Love Happens” is just a stolen version of their film, and they’re suing to stop the release. And a piece of the film’s expected profits, which they’ve ballparked at a hysterical and logical $100 million.

Those of you planning a night out at the movies this weekend with Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart might want to do some extra finger crossing because there’s a small chance love might not happen if two jaded screenwriters get their way. According to TMZ, screenwriters Greg Crowder and Tony Freitas are attempting to block the release of Universal’s Love Happens this weekend because they feel the script for the film was stolen from them. That’s right — if Crowder and Freitas are to be believed, love already happened a few years ago when they handed the VP of Production for Universal a script called The Truth, which, we imagine, was a love story about love happening and then not happening, but thankfully happening again right before the end.

At the time Universal said the script needed a rewrite, but both writers wanted to be paid for said rewrite and that’s when the deal fell apart. Then, earlier this year the duo submitted the script to another company, who then turned around and accused the writers of stealing the script from the upcoming Aniston/Eckhart vehicle. One imagines Greg and Tony then turned around, looked at each other and said something like, “Wait, did that just happen?”

So, now, these writers want to either block the release of Love Happens this weekend or receive a piece of its profits, which they hilariously estimate at more than $100 million. May as well demand the film’s future Oscar while they’re at it …

I hate romantic comedies for about a million reasons, so my first thought was “Why would these guys want to take credit for this?” And that is not an Aniston slam, that is a romcom slam. Even though Cinematical seems to be taking the angle that these guys are full of it, I didn’t really find any evidence that their claims are clear B.S. All sorts of written work does get stolen. Considering most writers know this, I’m assuming they in some way kept documentation of their meetings and who they sent the script to.

In related Aniston news, she was on “The Tonight Show” last night and gave a fairly bland interview. While she obviously comes across as very nice, she took it a little too far and seemed sort of cheesy and suck uppity. I winced a few times. It wasn’t just what she said but the tone she said it in. Like at the beginning Jennifer comes out to tons of applause, whooping, and hollering from the audience. Conan says “Wow… I get the feeling that happens whenever you walk into a room.” To which Jen replies, “No, I think I just need you to be in the room as well, then it’ll happen!” She told a story about being frightened by Courteney Cox’s giant head on a passing advertisement on a bus. It was okay. Big heads are funny, can’t lie about that.

Jen also mentioned that she wants to open up a Mexican restaurant one day, noting, “I love Mexican food and usually a really great night is had inside a Mexican restaurant.” She mentioned that her dad had a restaurant in New York back in the day and that she used to waitress – which she’d like to take up again once in a while if she opened her own spot. Interestingly, Jen’s former supposed Bradley Cooper competition Renee Zellweger just opened up a New York Mexican restaurant this summer. Hers is in the Hamptons, but close enough. Wonder if that was a little dig perhaps? Maybe Aniston’s letting Renee know the competition isn’t over.
