Jennifer Garner and Judy Greer were spotted on set of Netflix’s “13 Going on 30,” filming a scene with Emily Bader, who stars in the new reimagining with Logan Lerman.
Garner — who played Jenna Rink, the awkward teenager magically transported into her 30-year-old life as a high-powered, but messy, magazine editor — was already on board the project as an executive producer. Last week, she told Variety’s Marc Malkin that she would be visiting the set.
“I’m going to go [and] see if I can bump around and see if they’ll put me in somewhere,” Garner joked. “Maybe I could be in the background of whatever the ‘Thriller’ scene is.”
But it appears Garner was just playing coy. The set photos, published on Tuesday by Just Jared, show Garner, Bader and Greer — who played Jenna’s frenemy, Lucy “Tom-Tom” Wyman — in costume and filming a scene at a building in Santa Monica, Calif. Netflix has not confirmed that they’re reprising their roles, and the project’s logline is being kept under wraps, so it’s unclear how much Garner and Greer factor into the plot.
The new “13 Going on 30” is directed by Brett Haley, who most recently helmed Netflix’s adaptation of Emily Henry’s “People We Met On Vacation,” starring Bader, which was a massive hit. Taylor Zakhar Perez, Jessica Alba, Adeline Rudolph, Taylor Ortega, Tim Meadows and Dan Bucatinsky will also star in the movie. 2004’s “13 Going on 30,” directed by Gary Winick and also starring Mark Ruffalo, grossed $96 million in theaters and became a cultural touchstone for Millennial audiences.
