Jennifer Lopez to star in new movie 'This Is Me…Now: A Love Story' (IMDb)
Jennifer Lopez and Dave Meyers are leaving no stone unturned in their new movie, This Is Me…Now: A Love Story. Lopez, who was the inspiration for this fantastical, sci-fi, romantic film, made it clear that at the end of the day, all that matters to her is staying true to her own journey. Especially her heartfelt love story with her husband Ben Affleck. From fans to media alike, the couple's tipsy love story is well known, and Meyers, along with Lopez, are committed to portraying it as artistically as possible.
Jennifer Lopez's Heart Factory is a metaphor for her breakup with Ben Affleck
This Is Me…Now is based on the true story of Jennifer Lopez, and while the film reflects her story, it will be presented in a major musical extravaganza. Jennifer talked about the line between fiction and nonfiction, and she revealed that she's never done a project that didn't include at least a little bit of her real life. She says, “As an artist, the only things you really have to draw on are the experiences you have, your personal experiences, and the experiences of other people around you that you have witnessed innately.'' ” he said.
The All I Have singer revealed, “There's some parts that are kind of autobiographical, and there's some parts that are kind of meta.” She talked about how the film focuses on “the sense of what happened” rather than what actually happened. The fact that she works as a construction worker at the Hart Factory comes into play. Dave Myers argues that while this is not factually accurate, it is “metaphorically correct.” He said: “It started with her telling me what she had been through, specifically the pain she went through when she first broke up with Ben[Affleck]. '' he said.
The director revealed that Jennifer's honesty led to the validation of the metaphor, saying, “The Heart Factory became kind of like a giant meltdown. This is a true metaphor that she gave me. It was,” he added.
Ben Affleck was Jennifer Lopez's pillar of support
With endless talent and experience, Lopez is human, just like the rest of us, and that leads her to doubt her own abilities from time to time. However, she revealed that Ben Affleck was nothing but supportive during her writing period. She said, “I was like, 'I don't write, I don't do this.'” He was like, “You do it, you write it, you direct it, you produce it, you choreograph it, you do it all.” The Batman actor advised the Selena actress that she should start owning who she is. Apparently, Jen did just that.
“This Is Me…Now: A Love Story” will be released on Prime Video on February 16th and will support Lopez in the lead role, including Sofia Vergara, Trevor Noah and Ben Affleck.
