Jennifer Lopez is back with a bang and ready to share her story. The singer and actress has partnered with director Dave Meyers to make a new musical film. The film is about her journey to love and the significance of loving oneself. It’s called “This Is Me…Now: A Love Story” and it will premiere on Prime Video on February 16. The film will be a remarkable combination of mythological storytelling, personal healing, and star power.
The film is a sequel to Jennifer Lopez’s third studio album, “This Is Me…Then.” The album was released 22 years ago and had songs dedicated to her then-fiancé Ben Affleck. The new film and album, “This Is Me…Now,” look back on Lopez’s experiences and relationships over the past two decades. They show how these experiences have shaped her strong heart and ongoing search for love. In the film, Lopez plays herself and goes through multiple weddings and marriage counseling sessions. Some imaginative scenes highlight her artistic vision and heartfelt expression of love.
The trailer for the film was released on January 17. It shows some of the amazing things in the film, like beautiful costumes, incredible dancing, and famous people making appearances. Lopez’s husband Ben Affleck is in the film, along with Fat Joe, Trevor Noah, Kim Petras, Post Malone, and others. The trailer also gives a glimpse of the film’s mythical story. Lopez dresses like Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty and love. She also does a dance like Kali, the Hindu goddess of destruction and rebirth.
One of the most touching scenes in the trailer is the support group scene, where Lopez shares her childhood memories of sharing a room with her sister, and lying awake at night wondering how anyone can get shut-eye “when your heart never goes to sleep.” The scene offers a glimpse into Lopez’s journey, highlighting the challenges she has faced and conquered in both her personal and professional life.
The film is dropping in tandem with Lopez’s first studio album in a decade, which is also titled “This Is Me…Now.” The album features 10 songs that reflect Lopez’s personal and artistic growth and her love for music and her fans. The lead single, “Can’t Get Enough,” which samples Alton Ellis’s 1967 song “Still in Love,” was released on January 10, and has already received rave reviews from critics and listeners alike.
“This Is Me…Now: A Love Story” is a film that celebrates Jennifer Lopez’s remarkable journey and her inspiring message of love and self-love. It is a film that fans of Lopez and music lovers will not want to miss. Check out the trailer now and save the date for February 16th, when the movie and album will be available on Prime Video.
