As per ANI reports, filmmaker Niki Caro, who recently helmed Disney’s ‘Mulan’ remake, is all set to direct the forthcoming movie. ‘The Mother’ will focus on a deadly assassin who comes out of hiding to protect the daughter she gave up years before.
‘Lovecraft Country’ fame showrunner Misha Green is writing the screenplay, with current revisions by Andrea Berloff. Apart from Lopez, Elaine Goldsmith Thomas is the producer for Nuyorican Productions, as well as Green, Benny Medina, and Roy Lee, and Miri Yoon for Vertigo Entertainment.
Apart from ‘The Mother’, Lopez will also be seen in Netflix for another film, an adaptation of the best selling book ‘The Cipher’. She will also produce and star in the movie, revolving around an FBI agent who finds herself drawn into a serial killer’s strategically designed cat-and-mouse chase.
Lopez has several films scheduled to shoot, including Universal’s romantic comedy ‘Marry Me’ with Owen Wilson, STX’s crime drama ‘The Godmother’ and Lionsgate’s ‘Shotgun Wedding’, which recently made headlines for the departure of her co-star Armie Hammer. Josh Duhamel is being eyed to replace Hammer in the lead role.
