Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez in 'Unstoppable'

Jennifer Lopez is set to star alongside a high-profile cast in an upcoming sports biopic, produced by her husband Ben Affleck and longtime collaborator Matt Damon. Affleck, who has expressed his admiration for working with Lopez, emphasized the importance of enjoying one's work relationships during a recent interview with CBS Sunday Mornings. He humorously noted that while it may seem like Lopez is doing him a favor by participating in the film, her involvement is genuine. As the film gears up for its premiere at a festival on September 6, Lopez is expected to attend, while Affleck will not be present. This collaboration marks another chapter in the couple's intertwined careers, following their previous appearances together in the romantic comedies "Gigli" and "Jersey Girl." Affleck has openly discussed the challenges faced during the production of "Gigli," reflecting on how external factors, including their highly publicized relationship, influenced the film's reception. In a candid moment, Affleck shared insights about the lessons learned from "Gigli," acknowledging that the media frenzy surrounding their romance overshadowed the film itself. He noted that the studio's focus on their relationship created a narrative that detracted from the movie's actual content. Despite the film's struggles, Affleck recognized the positive outcome of meeting Lopez, describing their relationship as profoundly meaningful in his life.
