Jennifer Garner has been in a few movies that didn't get the best critical response- Pearl Harbor, Elektra, Valentine's Day- but her next movie may be described as terrible, horrible, and maybe even very bad!

And that'll just be on the poster!

Jen is in talks to star in a big screen adaptation of Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day!

The beloved children's book has already attracted the talent of Steve Carell, another movie star with kids, so if Jen does join, both of the titular Alexander's parents will be played by parents!

Ch-ch-check out the pics (below) to see Jen getting some mom research in with daughters Violet and Seraphina Affleck.

There are SO many Frankenstein projects in the works, we can't even keep track anymore!

We're not particularly enthused to announce that A Night at the Museum director Shawn Levy has just signed on to direct a new Frankenstein movie for Fox.

Other directors who were in the running included Bourne director Paul Greengrass and Harry Potter director David Yates, but in the end Shawn Levy seemed like he'd make the studio the most money be the best candidate.

Does this mean that you'll no longer be directing Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, Shawn???

What do U think? Is the Night at the Museum director the right guy for Frankenstein?

We hope they don't fuck this up trying to give it the Where The Wild Things Are treatment! We love this book too much for it to suck!

Director Shawn Levy has reportedly signed on to direct a 'high concept' film adaptation of the Judith Viorst classic Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day!

For those of you who grew up under a rock, the book revolves around a sour puss kid who gets metaphorically shit on for about 45 pages.

We think our favorite little burst of rainbows and kittens Kristen Stewart should play Alexander!

This whole 'high concept' description worries us. Like we mentioned, it worked for Spike Jonze on Where The Wild Things Are, because well, he's a good filmmaker, but Shawn Levy took a massive dump on his version of the Pink Panther (twice!), and when Hilary Duff is the best part of your movie - Cheaper By The Dozen (twice!) - then you pretty much fail at life.

But we refuse to be like our beloved Stewie Puss Puss Alexander and will remain cautiously optimistic about this film!

What do U think?? Will U go see Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day?
