J.Lo to Star in Film About a One-Legged Wrestler, Produced by Ben Affleck

Jennifer Lopez is in final talks to star in Unstoppable, a biopic produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. After growing up as childhood pals near Boston, Affleck and Damon's careers have been closely associated since they collaborated on Good Will Hunting. After several more collaborations over the years, Affleck and Damon recently launched their own production company, Artists Equity, which is set to debut its first film, Air. The sports biopic, which is directed by Affleck who also stars alongside Damon, follows a Nike executive's quest to recruit a rookie Michael Jordan for their Air Jordan sneaker line.

Now, Affleck and Damon's production company appears to have found its second project, another sports biopic, and someone closely attached to Affleck may star. According to Deadline, Lopez is in final talks to star in the project currently titled Unstoppable, a biopic about the one-legged wrestler Anthony Robles. At this time, it's unclear who Lopez would play, or who would play Robles.

What To Expect From Unstoppable

Billy Goldenberg – who edited Argo, Live by Night, and Air for Affleck – is attached to Unstoppable for his directorial debut. It's unknown who is writing the script for Unstoppable, though it will follow the true story of Robles and likely be based on the wrestler's autobiography of the same, Unstoppable: From Underdog to Undefeated: How I Became a Champion. Robles' powerful and inspiring life story is ripe for dramatization, as he was born with only one leg and defied all odds to become a three-time all-American wrestler and the 2011 NCAA National Wrestling Champion.

If Lopez's deal for the Affleck-produced biopic is finalized, Unstoppable will be the third collaboration between the couple after Gigli and Jersey Girl. The 2003 romantic crime comedy, which is when Affleck and Lopez first met, was a box office bomb and is now widely considered one of the worst films ever made. Affleck and Lopez's careers (as well as their personal relationship) have come a long way since Gigli, so hopefully their next collaboration, Unstoppable, proves to be more successful.

Amal Clooney Wore Optical Illusion Jeans Cosigned by Jennifer Lopez—Fall-Ready Styles Start at $44

My list of must-try jean trends for 2026 is growing; it currently includes all the silhouettes one denim expert revealed to me as the must-watch of the year (save for baggy jeans, because I’ve been wearing those for years). That said, one style that didn’t land on said aforementioned list, but is clearly due for big, big things this year, is flare jeans. With a growing list of celebrity fans that includes Meghan Markle, Jennifer Lopez, Reese Witherspoon, Cindy Crawford, Kendrick Lamar (you know that moment), and, of course, Amal Clooney, there’s no denying the retro denim style that was popular in the early aughts is back—and bigger than ever.

The fact that Clooney wore flared jeans is noteworthy in and of itself. The human rights lawyer is known for her refined dressing approach, regularly opting for billowy trousers, trendy boho blouses, and comfy sweater dresses—all staples that read elegant and timeless. So, when I spotted her earlier this year in the laid-back blues while out to dinner with hubby George Clooney, I knew I had to write about it. Of course, the fact that she wore flare jeans, the style countless celebs have worn the last few weeks, is noteworthy, too, as it further cements the style’s ‘It’ status for 2026.
