Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s Film Unstoppable Takes Center Stage With Dramatic Trailer
You can now catch a glimpse of one of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's final collaborations.
Two months after the “Let's Get Loud” singer filed for divorce from her husband of two years, the full trailer for Unstoppable, the biopic she stars in that he co-produced with Matt Damon, has been released.
In the new film, Lopez plays Judy Robes, mother of wrestler Anthony Robles (Jharrel Jerome), who was born with one leg and won a 2011 NCAA wrestling national championship while competing at Arizona State University.
The trailer, released Oct. 30, opens on Lopez reading a fan letter to Anthony. "Dear Mr. Robles," she begins, "I'm in the third grade and you're my hero. I wanted to tell you how much I look up to you."
The 55-year-old's character also tells her son, "You make people believe in something. When they see you, they don't see someone who's missing a leg. They see someone who is unstoppable."
Unstoppable, which also stars Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña and Don Cheadle, is set to hit select theaters Dec. 6 and is scheduled for a wider release Jan. 16. But despite the film’s release coming amid Jennifer and Ben’s breakup, the former couple have been committed to their film’s success.
Indeed, Unstoppable director William Goldenberg noted that there's no awkwardness among the cast and crew due to his and Lopez's breakup.
"It's always been about the movie, and that's their personal business," he said at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere in September where Jennifer and Matt were among the attendees. “We just kept it about the movie. We just kept her eye on the prize."
Unstoppable is not the only film Affleck, 52, and Lopez worked on together during their marriage. The Hustlers actress also stars in Bill Condon's upcoming film adaptation of the Broadway musical Kiss of the Spider Woman, which she co-produced with her estranged husband and Damon, among others.
While Affleck has not commented on his and Lopez's split, she recently broke her silence on how her "whole f--king world exploded."
"You have to be complete, if you want something that’s more complete,” Lopez told comedian Nikki Glaser in an Interview magazine profile published Oct. 9. “You have to be good on your own. I thought I learned that, but I didn’t. And then, this summer, I had to be like, ‘I need to go off and be on my own. I want to prove to myself that I can do that.'"
She added, "Being in a relationship doesn’t define me. I can't be looking for happiness in other people. I have to have happiness within myself."
