Jennifer Lopez and Armie Hammer will co-star in the upcoming action comedy, Shotgun Wedding. The film casts Lopez and Hammer as Darcy and Tom, who are gearing up for their destination wedding. The twist comes when their entire wedding party is taken hostage. “‘Til Death Do Us Part’ takes on a whole new meaning in this hilarious, adrenaline-fueled adventure as Darcy and Tom must save their loved ones — if they don’t kill each other first,” read the description. Jason Moore directs the film and production is expected to begin next year. The screenplay is by Mark Hammer and Liz Meriwether.
Lopez returns with this film after her 2019 hit, Hustlers, which earned her a Golden Globe nomination. Her upcoming roster also includes the wedding comedy Marry Me, and The Godmother, a crime drama about the rise and fall of late drug Lord Griselda Blanco. Lopez reminisced with her former agent turned co-producer Elaine Goldsmith Thomas about how she had to fight against Latina stereotypes while she was auditioning earlier in her acting career. When I started I was always going in for the maid, dishwasher roles and I was like I didn’t want to do that and I had to kind of break out of that and convince somebody to put me in the first romantic comedy which was the Wedding Planner says Lopez.
