Jennifer Lopez can do it all; music, dance and certainly act. JLO has made her mark on the acting world with roles in “Selena”, “Money Train”, “Enough”, “Maid In Manhattan”, “Monster-In-Law” and the list goes on. It is her recent role in “Shades of Blue” which really has solidified her acting versatility. Due to her versatility this news doesn’t surprise me.
HBO and Lopez are going to bring the story of ‘The Cocaine Godmother’ to our TV screens. Yes, Jennifer Lopez is slated to play Griselda Blanco, the Drug Lord in an upcoming HBO Film. Griselda Blanco has become the most notorious female cartel member of all time for her involvement in the 1970’s and 1980’s U.S. drug trade.
Here’s what Jenny from the block had to say in a statement regarding the news;
“I’ve been fascinated by the life of this corrupt and complicated woman for many years. The idea of teaming with HBO felt like the perfect fit for finally bringing Griselda’s story to life.”
Jennifer Lopez is set to executive produce the movie through her Nuyorican Productions alongside Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, Benny Medina, and LBI Entertainment’s Julie and Rick Yorn. Co-executive producers are Alex Pettyfer, Priscilla Porianda and Patrick Walmsley.
