Niki Caro: Last News

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are together in Spain!

The Mother is a mutha of an intimately scaled action film, a violent female-centric drama about a hardened combat veteran who has great difficulty adapting to being anything other than a tough soldier, and that includes being a mother. Joining Kathryn Bigelow, Patty Jenkins, Gina Prince-Blythewood, Mimi Leder and the Wachowski siblings among women responsible for notable action features, Aussie director Niki Caro (Whale Rider, Mulan) has delivered a film that could easily have veered into sentiment at any moment but instead remains tough as nails and doesn’t go soft at the end. The film would surely have an even greater impact on the big screen but, as it is, launched Friday on Netflix.

Lucy Paez is recounting her audition for the role of Jennifer Lopez’s daughter in “The Mother”.

Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle Editor Jennifer Lopez and the team behind “The Mother” are already thinking about a sequel. “I think it would be ‘The Daughter,’” Lopez told me Wednesday night at the premiere of the new Netflix action thriller. In the film, Lopez plays a former assassin who is pulled back into her deadly work when her 12-year-old daughter’s (Lucy Paez) life is put in danger. Paez agreed. “The sequel will definitely be ‘The Daughter,’” the young actor said. Not only does Lopez’s character kill at least a couple dozen men in the movie, but the actor’s impressive stunt work also includes motorcycle chases and gunfights while riding a snowmobile. “I was achy, but not hurt,” Lopez said. “I don’t think I’ve ever done an action movie like this. I do a lot of my own stunts because I’m athletic. But I have kids so I’m not going to risk anything.”

Jennifer Lopez is baring some midriff on the red carpet for the premiere of her new Netflix movie The Mother.

Jennifer Lopez doesn’t think Ben Affleck’s “Batman” would stand a chance against her assassin character in “The Mother” if the pair were to have a showdown.

Netflix has released the first official trailer for The Mother, Jennifer Lopez‘s upcoming action-thriller – you can watch it above.Directed by Niki Caro (Mulan), the film stars Lopez as an assassin who will do anything to protect her daughter, having been forced to give her up at birth.“I’m a killer. And I’m also a mother,” says Lopez’s character in the action-packed trailer, which sees her headbutt, stab and shoot a variety of bad guys who threaten both her and her daughter.A synopsis of the film reads: “A deadly female assassin comes out of hiding to protect the daughter that she gave up years before, while on the run from dangerous men.”The trailer opens with Lopez in a flashback giving birth to her daughter.

Immovable objects meet unstoppable forces. Netflix may not be the best platform when it comes to promoting its original titles, but when that original film happens to feature a retired assassin played by Jennifer Lopez, odds are you don’t need to put a ton of money into the marketing budget.

Her latest film Shotgun Wedding has already been beset by lousy reviews ahead of its January 27 premiere on Amazon Prime Video.But Jennifer Lopez was focused on the future on Thursday as she continued to work on her upcoming action thriller The Mother.The 53-year-old actress and singer was seen filming some reshoots for the movie in an ultra-casual costume that was a far cry from her usual glamorous ensembles.She was filming on a rainy, overcast Los Angeles day, which perfectly suited her casual wintry costume.
