The Hollywood Reporter reports that "Alias" star Jennifer Garner is joining the Touchstone Pictures thriller "Sabbatical." Garner will also co-produce under her Vandalia Films, along with LivePlanet's Sean Bailey, and Chuck Weinstock.

The film will follow a couple seeking to save their marriage after seven years. They decide to take a two-week sabbatical from each other during which, within a set of rules, they can do whatever they want. But when the wife returns to the agreed-upon meeting place two weeks later, however, she finds that her husband has disappeared.
