Jennifer Lopez to Star in The Governess

July 29, 2008

Jennifer Lopez will topline Yari Film Group's romantic comedy The Governess, with Nigel Cole directing.

Variety says The Governess was written by Kevin Wade, who also penned Lopez starrer Maid in Manhattan, and Wendy Braff. Don Roos is polishing the script.

The story centers on a professional thief who, in order to pull off a major bank heist, poses as a nanny to the three unruly children of a wealthy widower. When she starts to fall for the kids and their father, she must decide if she can give up her past for a chance to start over.

Bob Yari will produce along with Sid Ganis, Alex Siskin and Simon Fields, Lopez' producing partner. Shooting is scheduled to begin in Massachusetts in the fall.

Lopez is in pre-production on indie project Love and Other Impossible Pursuits, with Roos directing from his own script.

Erm, do we really even need to see this film? If you can't guess what decision she makes then congratulations, you must be the least jaded film-goer on this entire site if not, the planet.

Henifer Lopeee sucks but not in the way we'd like. She's a rubbish actress the only real good mvie she has done is u-turn and that wasn't exactly taxing for her. All she's good for is getting her bristols out and she don't even do that.

just go back to the block

Actually, she was great in Out of Sight with George Clooney, but, yeah, not much worthwhile since then.

I thought "Enough" was a pretty damn good movie.

Not really a fan of Lopez anymore, however.
