Jennifer Aniston films scenes at Daily News for upcoming film ‘The Bounty (Blog)

Jennifer Aniston stepped off an elevator Saturday and became one of the hottest reporters at the Daily News.
Well, kinda …

Aniston – along with a film crew and an enthusiastic cadre of extras – were shooting scenes for the upcoming action comedy “The Bounty.”

The former “Friends” star plays a hard-nosed New York reporter who gets arrested while investigating a story.

Instead of making a scheduled court appearance she doggedly pursues her lead, and her ex-hubby – played by Scotsman Gerard Butler – is the bail bondsman charged with hunting her down.

The petite stunner looked right at home as she strode down the halls, past the framed photos of The News’ Pulitzer Prize-winning writers.

Dressed in a white sleeveless blouse, gray miniskirt and high heels, she ducked into the ladies’ room for a powwow with a colleague before heading into the newsroom.

The movie is directed by Andy Tennant (”Hitch,” “Sweet Home Alabama”) and also stars “Saturday Night Live’s” Jason Sudeikis as a Daily News reporter with a crush on Aniston.

In between takes, Aniston laughed with techs and wardrobe aides and snacked on thinly peeled string cheese.

The extras delighted in the behind-the-scenes peek at the Daily News, and marveled at the framed front pages.

“It’s exciting, seeing everything on the wall. Normally it’s a contrived set,” actress Michelle DiBenedetti said.

Actors were issued laminated Daily News ID cards as props. “I hope they let us keep them,” extra Julie Stone said.
“It’d be a great souvenir.”
