Ben Affleck’s upcoming movie starring wife Jennifer Lopez suspends filming
Ongoing strike by Hollywood writers has affected work on the project
Hollywood star Ben Affleck’s upcoming movie ‘Unstoppable’, which will star his wife Jennifer Lopez, has “suspended filming” amid the ongoing writers’ strike.
Currently impacting much of Hollywood, the Writers Guild of America are striking, with 50-year-old Affleck’s new movie the latest to have been affected, reports Mirror.co.uk.
‘Unstoppable’ is an upcoming wrestling movie about the life of wrestler Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg and won a national championship title in 2011.
Actor Jharrel Jerome will play the athlete, while Billy Goldenberg is set to direct the movie.
As per Mirror.co.uk, Affleck’s production company Artists Equity, which he runs with fellow actor Matt Damon, has been issued a fresh blow.
The film is said to have been in limbo since midweek, with filming supposedly paused because of the strikes and subsequent pickets, according to ‘Deadline’.
It is currently unknown as to when the flick will resume filming, with reports stating that it is likely to pick back up when the strike ends, if not sooner.
