Jennifer Lopez is baring some midriff on the red carpet for the premiere of her new Netflix movie The Mother.

The 53-year-old actress was joined on the red carpet by her husband Ben Affleck, 50, on Wednesday night (May 10) at the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood, Calif.

Jennifer was joined at the event by co-stars Omari Hardwick, Lucy Paez, Paul Raci, and Yvonne Senat Jones, as well as director Niki Caro.

Here’s the logline for the upcoming film: A deadly female assassin comes out of hiding to protect the daughter that she gave up years before, while on the run from dangerous men.

Also starring in the movie are Joseph Fiennes and Gael Garcia Bernal.

The film will debut on Netflix on May 12, which is Mother’s Day weekend. Watch the trailer now!

FYI: Jennifer is wearing a custom Brunello Cucinelli look, a Tyler Ellis bag, and Fernando Jorge jewelry.

Charlize Theron is teaming up with Mulan director Niki Caro on an exciting new project.

The 45-year-old actress and Niki are developing a new movie together for Netflix, according to Variety.

The film is said to be focusing on women’s fight for equality in big wave surfing and based on Daniel Duane’s New York Times Magazine article, “The Fight For Gender Equality In One of the Most Dangerous Sports on Earth,” and the four women — Bianca Valenti, Andrea Moller, Paige Alms, Keala Kennelly — who are fighting for the right to compete in big-wave contests.

The four athletes have formed a powerful bond throughout the process as they surf dangerous spots including California’s Maverick’s and Maui’s Jaws while asserting their right to join the male-dominated competitions.

Charlize will be a producer on the project, with Niki directing the film, from a screenplay adapted by Becky Johnston, which will focus on the four women’s stories and their powerful bond.

Just recently, Charlize opened up about wanting to star in this movie.

Niki Caro is opening up more about the live action version of Mulan, which is set to premiere this week on Disney+, particularly about why Mushu isn’t in it.

The director, alongside star Yifei Liu, explained that why the dragon isn’t featured in the new movie, he is represented in several ways.

“We were very inspired about what Mushu brought to the animation which was humor and levity,” she says. “The challenge was to bring that to Mulan’s real relationships with her fellow soldiers.”

Niki continued, “Mushu, beloved as that character is in the animation, was Mulan’s confidante, and part of bringing it to live action is to commit to the realism of her journey. And she had to make those relationships with her fellow soldiers.”

Previously, producer Jason Reed shared that the creative team had a lot of conversations about including the popular animated animal.

This other character from the animated version won’t be appearing in the live action film either.

Disney has decided to push back the release date for Mulan amid the Coronavirus outbreak.

The live-action remake of the classic animated film was scheduled to be released on March 27, but now the studio does not have a release date for the movie, according to Deadline.

Moments before the announcement was made on Thursday (March 12), actress Yifei Liu and director Niki Caro joined the film’s cast at the UK premiere in London, England.

Also in attendance were Jason Scott Lee, Yoson An, and Ron Yuan. Earlier in the week, the cast walked the red carpet at the movie’s Los Angeles premiere.
