The upcoming movie, Atlas, is not just a film but a story of “love and friendship,” which lead actress, Jennifer Lopez, “feels passionate” about.
Highlighting her impression about the movie in a recent interview, the Can’t Get Enough singer says she “feels proud” about the project and also understood that allowing people into one’s life is the “bravest and most beautiful thing” to do.
“I always feel like the movies I do somehow mirror where I’m at in my life and also help to kind of push me forward into the next chapter…The first time I read the script for Atlas, I felt passionately about the story, and particularly the friendship story at the core of it.
“At the end of it, I was literally sobbing…Outside, it’s kind of a big action movie, but it has at the emotional core a story about love and friendship,” she stated and described the movie as one of the most exciting ones she has ever made.
“I was on set day after day making the best, most fun and emotionally grounded action film it could be and I am really proud of it,” she added.
