The film anthology, called "Project Five," will show how breast cancer affects the lives of people it touches, according to The Hollywood Reporter. A fifth director is yet to be announced.

Among the executive producers behind the project are Marta Kauffman, with whom Aniston worked for a decade on "Friends," Paula Wagner and Kristin Hahn, with scripts written by Wendy West ("Dexter"), Stephen Godshaux ("Spin City") and other.

In a statement, Aniston said, "We want these films to move people and empower those affected by breast cancer to stand tall through this challenge, which impacts ALL of our lives, no matter who we are."
