Alias star Jennifer Garner told SCI FI Wire that she's going to have
to get in touch with her inner adolescent to star in the upcoming fantasy
film 13 Going on 30 next summer. "I play this young woman who at
13 suddenly fast-forwards to 30 physically, and ... the rest of her family
has fast-forwarded that far ahead, [too,] but emotionally she's still
where she is at her 13th birthday," Garner said in an interview while
promoting her next film, Daredevil.
Garner, 32, said that she's still in touch with her 13-year-old side.
"I think so," she said. "Everyone in the Alias cast is
like, 'Oh, yeah, this is a no-brainer. She's 13 all right. She may be
12.'"
Garner added, "I'm so excited. I'm really nervous. But it feels
closer to me character-wise than anything I have really played so far.
It's ... the female version of Big. But it's a movie with a lot of heart,
and it should be funny. And Mark Ruffalo is going to star in it with me.
And it's at Revolution Studios, and Gary Winick is going to direct it,
and it's going to be great." 13 Going on 30 is slated for a 2004
release; Daredevil, in which Garner plays Elektra opposite Ben Affleck's
Matt Murdock, opens Feb. 14.
