For reel: Jennifer Aniston’s got her own film company.

The actress, 39, and producing partner Kristin Hahn have formed Echo Films, according to Variety.

Variety reports that the two have already lined up several projects, most of which will star Aniston and will be taken from books and real-life stories.

Among them:

They’ve acquired screen rights to Jane Fallon’s British bestseller Getting Rid of Matthew about a high-level publicist who has an affair with a married man with kids, only to fall for the man’s son.

They’re also adapting the novel The Divorce Party about a husband and wife who announce they’re splitting at a bash celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary.

Aniston will also headline The Goree Girls, based on a Texas Monthly article about a falsely convicted woman who starts one of America’s first all-female bands.

“We’re drawn to stories about people finding their voice and finding their way because they help us as listeners and viewers do what we feel we’re all trying to do, which is making sense of our lives through the stories of others,” Aniston said in a statement. “That’s why we chose the name Echo, to echo back an idea, a challenge, something that resonates through all of us.”

Aniston and Hahn (an executive producer on The Departed) have been working together since Aniston was a partner with ex Brad Pitt in the production company Plan B.

Aniston is currently shooting the Owen Wilson comedy Marley & Me.
