Jennifer Aniston’s big-budget summer movie He’s Just Not That Into You — her first release since the surprise hit The Break-Up two years ago — isn’t going to be on the big screen anytime soon.

Asked if it’s true that the release date of Jen’s film has been pushed back from Aug. 1 to Oct. 24, a New Line rep confirms to Life & Style, “That is the tentative new release date, though I don’t believe its 100 percent official yet. It’s definitely no longer August 1.”

According to an insider close to the actress, Jennifer’s romantic comedy has quietly been shifted because of mounting buzz for the Sex and the City film, expected to be a big draw among female audiences this summer.

The move underscores a professional rivalry between Jen and Sarah Jessica Parker. “Jen was looking forward to going up against the Sex ensemble — especially Sarah Jessica — and some of the other summer blockbusters,” says the insider. “They’ve never been friends in real life, and probably never will be.

“But Jen’s convinced her film has a superior story and more attractive cast. People are going to compare these movies and she doesn’t regret taking part in the project. This is the script that lured her back to work after taking two years off. She’s standing by her belief that it is a worthy picture.”
