Jennifer Lopez Pic ‘Unstoppable’ Halts Production For Day Amid WGA Picketing
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Unstoppable has, in fact, been stopped — at least for now. Production on the wrestling drama, starring Jennifer Lopez and Jharrel Jerome, paused for the day earlier this morning following picketing at their shooting location near USC.
Artists Equity, the new production company that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon co-founded with RedBird Capital, declined to comment.
Whether shooting will resume tomorrow is not yet clear. Somewhere between 15 and 25 picketers arrived at Unstoppable‘s base camp for the day around 4:30 a.m., with strikers working to maintain a lockdown on a site with numerous entrances.
Sources tell Deadline that momentum on the picket line really picked up around 6 a.m. Another close to the situation noted that this is the first time the production has been picketed, though shooting has been taking place for at least two weeks.
