Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck met on the set of ‘Gigli’ in 2003 and appeared in the comedy-drama film ‘Jersey Girl’ a year later after they’d become a couple.
The couple divorced soon after, but they are now back together, married, and preparing to work together again.
Since their first on-screen collaboration, Affleck has won several Oscars for his work as a director and screenwriter, while J-Lo is a global A-lister in music and film.
J-Lo to star in a Ben Affleck movie
Affleck and his long-time friend Matt Damon own the film production company Artists Equity, which is set to release a new film starring Jennifer Lopez.
The film’s title is ‘Unstoppable,’ and it will mark the return of a J-Lo and Affleck collaboration.
This time, however, Affleck will be working behind the scenes as a producer.
The film is based on the true story of Anthony Robles, a one-legged athlete who competed for Arizona State University and won a national championship.
The film will be directed by another of Affleck and Damon’s collaborators, William Goldenberg, who will make his directorial debut after collaborating with Affleck on films such as ‘Argo,’ which won the Academy Award for Best Picture.
It will also be Affleck and J-first Lo’s official collaboration as husband and wife, though Affleck has already admitted that J-Lo influenced the film ‘Air,’ which is about to be released on the big screen.
He explained that she assisted him in explaining why Jordans were so culturally and fashionably significant.
