Jennifer Lopez to Play a Drug Lord in a HBO Movie

Date:

J.Lo plans on playing a drug lord in an upcoming HBO movie.

Variety reports that Jennifer Lopez is attached to star in a feature film from the company that brought you Game of Thrones. The movie will center around the infamous drug lord Griselda Blanco, who was made famous by the Cocaine Cowboys documentary.

Jennifer Lopez said she signed on as the lead and as an executive producer of the new HBO movie and had nothing but nice things to say.

“I’ve been fascinated by the life of this corrupt and complicated woman for many years,” said Lopez on her upcoming Home Box Office project. “The idea of teaming with HBO felt like the perfect fit for finally bringing Griselda’s story to life.”

Jennifer Lopez’s acting career has been on a roll recently. Lopez’s NBC cop drama Shades of Blue has entered its second season and Freeform’s critically acclaimed series The Fosters is half way through its fourth season.

Currently, Jennifer Lopez is the only person cast in the movie, which means casting directors are most likely casting the remaining roles as we speak.
