  • Story Text: Jennifer Aniston sparkled on the red carpet on Thursday (June 30) for the premiere of her latest film "Horrible Bosses".
    Aniston, who plays one of the horrible bosses, was joined by co-stars Jamie Foxx and Jason Bateman.
    "Horrible Bosses" details the antics of three friends, played by Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day, who conspire to kill their awful bosses. The bosses are played by Aniston as a sexually harassing dentist, Kevin Spacey as a psychotic master manipulator and Colin Farrell as a coke-addled jerk.
    Aniston said working with the cast was entertaining.
    "We really had a lot to get done in a short period of time and I think they probably had a harder time than I did because my stuff was just with Charlie and it was pretty straightforward and serious. If anything I was more mortified than anything, just filled with apologies," she said.
    Jason Sudeikis, who sharpened his comedy chops on Saturday Night Live, said a set full of comedic writers meant a lot of quick thinking.
    "It was mostly all scripted. It was fast, on the day, you know when you know each other's rhythms and each other's timings, you have a little bit more fun with the thing. The majority of it was there and we just screwed around in moments of indulgence and slap-happiness," he said.
    Seth Gordon, who directed the film, said he was very conscious about not living up to the film's title.
    "When you're directing a movie like "Horrible Bosses", it's sort of a license to be a tough boss. But I tried to not take advantage of that too often and have a fun time on set, encourage the comedy," he said.
    "Horrible Bosses" opens in U.S. theaters on July 8.
