Jennifer Lopez to Play Colombian Drug Lord in New Film 'The Godmother'

Jennifer Lopez just turned 50 and is showing ZERO signs of slowing down—she’s been slated to play a notorious real-life drug lord in TheGodmother.

The hit-making songstress will portray Griselda Blanco in. Blanco, a native Colombian, was a key figure in the blood-soaked street war which permeated the thriving drug trade in Miami in the 1980s.

"I’ve been forever fascinated by the story of Griselda Blanco and jumped at the chance to play her on screen," Lopez said in a statement."She is all things we look for in storytelling and dynamic characters – notorious, ambitious, conniving, chilling." "In a genre dominated by legendary kingpins, I’m eager to shine a spotlight on this anti-hero and excited to partner with STX for the third time so we can bring this compelling, complicated story to life," she continued.
