For the first time in 20 years, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are set to collaborate on a new film together, titled Unstoppable. The sports drama about the true story of Anthony Robles, a three-time All-American wrestler born with one leg, will star Lopez. Artists Equity, the production company Affleck co-founded with Matt Damon, will produce the film. The project will be Artists Equity’s second feature after AIR, the Affleck-directed film that recently premiered at South by Southwest. Unstoppable marks Lopez and Affleck’s first collaboration since 2003’s disastrous (or perhaps just … unappreciated?) Gigli. However, the newly married celebrity couple worked together (unofficially) on AIR, according to a recent interview Affleck gave to the The Hollywood Reporter: “Jen gave me some great lines too. Oh my God, she’s brilliant. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the way fashion evolves through the culture as a confluence of music, sports, entertainment, and dance.”
