Hollywood actress Jennifer Garner is set to star in a new thriller Better Living Through Chemistry. If the talks push through, Garner will star opposite Hurt Locker's Jeremy Renner.

Renner's pharmacist character is stuck in a loveless marriage. Enter trophy wife Jennifer Garner who will hook the pharmacist with her own dangerous habit of taking prescription drugs.

"Things spin out of control when the affair escalates and the lovers begin plotting to kill the woman's husband," says The Hollywood Reporter.

Jennifer Garners isn't seen much these days on-screen or in television. Her last film was Juno in 2007, still she's popular enough to be voted Hottest Mama is a poll, way ahead Heidi Klum and Jessica Alba.

Having a rising director for a husband, Ben Affleck (Gone Baby Bone, The Town) certainly is a boost. Currently, Garner is in domestic bliss with her two daughters and husband.

In related news, Ben Affleck's new feature film The Town seems to be doing quite well in the box office. Gossip Girl star Blake Lively's high profile campaign for the film had much to do with the strong opening . The Town is well received by critics, scoring 88% fresh in Rotten Tomatoes.
