Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have reunited once more for the silver screen. They initially shared the spotlight in 'Gigli' and 'Jersey Girl'. Their latest collaboration, 'Unstoppable', is a project close to Affleck's heart, produced under his company Artists Equity with longtime pal Matt Damon. This isn't just any film—it centers on the inspiring life of wrestler Anthony Robles, who conquered odds with a national championship despite being born with one leg.
The movie, set to hit screens later this year, boasts an impressive lineup. Jharrel Jerome of 'Moonlight' fame will portray Robles, supported by stars like Bobby Cannavale, Don Cheadle, and Michael Peña. For Affleck, working alongside Lopez was a thrill, as he shared in a CBS interview, emphasizing how their bond makes work a joy rather than a chore. Their marriage, reignited in 2021 and sealed in a Las Vegas ceremony in 2022, brings a unique dynamic to their professional collaboration.
Director William Goldenberg, known for his work with Affleck on 'Argo' and 'Air', helms 'Unstoppable', ensuring a promising direction for this compelling narrative. Beyond this film, Lopez gears up for 'Kiss of the Spider Woman', a Broadway adaptation directed by Bill Condon and featuring Diego Luna. Meanwhile, Affleck and Damon continue their productive streak with Artists Equity, backing projects that resonate with audiences worldwide.
In a recent Vogue "73 Questions" segment, Lopez hinted at a possible sequel to 'Gigli', reflecting their shared enthusiasm for future collaborations. When asked about future joint projects, she coyly remarked, "Maybe, in the right thing." With both stars deeply invested in their craft and each other, fans can anticipate more thrilling ventures from this dynamic duo.
