Jennifer Lopez’s recent films in her career have failed to impress fans, with many complaining about the mediocrity of the films she is participating in. Although her performances in her recent films Shotgun Wedding, and The Mother were praised, the films were considered cliche and derivative. Her latest film Atlas may be the weakest film in recent years.

The film has received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics, with a meager score on Rotten Tomatoes. But it is still far from being her worst as fans will be surprised to know that one of her films with her husband Ben Affleck holds the record for the worst film of her career.

The move comes after the film shut down production Wednesday due to picketers at USC’s campus, where it was filming.

The Jennifer Lopez feature Unstoppable is the latest film to shut down indefinitely as the Writers Strike continues to roil the industry.
Unstoppable, which hails from Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s Artists Equity, was filming in Los Angeles and was disrupted by picketing strikers earlier in the week. The hope now is to resume at an indeterminate date. Deadline first reported the news.
Unstoppable follows in the footsteps of Aziz Ansari’s Lionsgate feature Good Fortune, which shut down indefinitely two weeks ago in the middle of production after facing picketing. It hopes to resume production after the strike. Meanwhile, Marvel Studios’ Blade and Thunderbolts opted not to go into production until after the strike ends. (Marvel scripts are known to evolve during filming.)
Unstoppable is the second feature from Artists Equity following Air, the 1980s-set film centering on Nike’s battle to sign a young Michael Jordan to an endorsement deal.

Exclusive: More production shutdown as Artists Equity’s feature Unstoppable has been halted against the backdrop of the writers strike, we hear.
Logically, these stopped productions will return when the strike ends, at the latest. The news comes in the wake of picketers forcing Unstoppable to shut down on Wednesday, which was lensing at USC in Los Angeles.
Filming on the Jennifer Lopez-Jharrel Jerome wrestling drama had been going on for the past two weeks. The project is in talks to be sold to Amazon. Two weeks ago, the Aziz Ansari-directed Keanu Reeves-Seth Rogen Lionsgate feature, Good Fortune, was coerced to suspend production amid the writers strike as picketing heated up at its LA Koreatown location.
