Jennifer Garner Prepares For Odd Life

It seems like only yesterday that we were talking about Better Living Through Chemistry (because it was). Busy times for its star though, as Jennifer Garner is now also attached to **The Odd Life of Timothy Green.

Described by Vulture as a modern fable, Odd Life is the brainchild of Dan in Real Life's writer / director Peter Hedges. It's about a musically-inclined child prodigy and his parents, and stems from an idea by producer Ahmet Zappa (son of Frank).

Garner will play the wonder-boy's mother, with an offer out to Mark Wahlberg for the father. If he doesn't bite however, next on the list is reportedly the seemingly-rejuvenated Joaquin Phoenix.

Disney wants to get Odd Life going by early next year. Nobody's sure if Better Living Through Chemistry will shoot before or after.
