The Netflix interval documentary was supposed to capture JLo at 50. Instead, the filmmakers got Hustler and the making of an epic Super Bowl halftime show.

It’s no secret that Jennifer Lopez is a superstar, and has been for more than two decades. The multifaceted artist has long conquered the world of dance, television, cinema and music a curvy fashion icon , and he’s someone that people just can’t seem to get enough of, whatever they do. It is therefore very logical that fans have had a lot of feelings watching Lopez half the time the Netflix documentary premiered in early June, in which the marry me star explained how he got to where he is today, which also focuses on his work crook Yes his Super Bowl 2020 pole dance show . But it turns out that the documentary was originally supposed to focus only on JLo at the age of 50.

Why did the interval only focus on JLo at 50 in the beginning?

Almost all the successful and famous artists who have been at the top of their game for many years are either going through a downturn in their careers or have “What’s Next?” moments of their life. And, despite Jennifer Lopez’s apparent ubiquity, she is too. half the time producer Dave Broome recently spoke about the film with the Hollywood reporter and noted that one of those times was when he got involved in the project, meaning some of the topics covered in the documentary weren’t even a factor at the start of filming:

Hustlers is not on the table. And nothing that happened in his life that we have seen in the last four years is anything we thought we were filming.

Broome added that half the time began joining when Lopez was completing his Las Vegas residency. JLo performed at Planet Hollywood’s Zappos Theater from January 2016 until the end of September 2018, which means that in addition to knowing that Lopez would be 50 the following summer, Broome and the rest of those who worked on the documentary n They had no idea of ​​the magnitude of the next few years. years would have been for the famous polywriter. This led to an almost constant shift in attention when it came to what they needed to capture half the time. Broome continued:

It was a constant flow [for four years]. You start with a sketch and say, “This is what we’re going to do. And then suddenly, ‘What do you mean she is now starring in this movie where she plays a stripper? What do you mean by a possible Oscar nomination? The advantage of making a documentary is that none of this is written, it is real life. So when you follow him, you chase him and find and build the story as you go.

There are, of course, many documentaries that follow themes / themes to reflect on a great event that has already happened, but if you decide to shoot a document whose focus is simply “What does life look like now for this person? I can only imagine that it would be exciting if things turned out the way they did in JLo’s life.

Having been regularly on our screens since her debut in 1991 as Fly Girl on brightly coloredearning several rave reviews for her roles in films such as selena Yes out of sightand becoming the queen of romantic comedies of choice for many viewers, Lopez’s starring role as a stripper determined to get what she deserved for her hard work in crook led to the most Oscar buzz I’ve ever received.

Despite Lopez was not nominated for an Oscar (admitting “he was an asshole”) he was also chosen to direct the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show, featuring Shakira , where the duo made headlines for their performances. This does not mean Lopez rekindles their love story with her ex (and now king-fiance), Ben Affleck in the spring of 2021 (with Affleck also appears half the time ). Unsurprisingly, the result of all this activity in Lopez’s life has brought Broome and his team back to a bit of the drawing board for their film. Broome said:

I can’t tell you how many editions we’ve had. It’s like, ‘OK, here’s the movie.’ “Oh wait, that’s not the movie because it just happened.” “Now here’s the movie.” “Oh wait, that’s not all.”

In the end, of course, we got what is probably a much more interesting look into Jennifer Lopez’s life half the time due to the whirlwind of the past four years. And I doubt many of his fans will be disappointed with the results.
