The last time Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez partnered on a film in 2003 for GIGLI, the two lovebirds were roasted. Jennifer 2.0 is collaborating once again on a unique project. Lopez's next album in nearly a decade, This Is Me Now' will be accompanied by a film written by Lopez and Affleck which looks to be a Bollywood-style musical in the short clip released.
The press release describes the personal project as JLo's "intimate, reflective, sexy, funny, fantastical and highly entertaining musical and visual reimagining of her publicly scrutinized love life." In the first look clip, the actor/musician reveals her childhood dream was not global domination but love.
