Jennifer Lopez To Star In 'Bordertown'


Great, J. Lo is going to take another Mexican related event and use it to futher her career! Man, fuck her! I hope the director can at least remain truthful and sensitive about the subject matter. He also directed both Selena and Mi Familia but I still have issues with him. I'll just have to wait and see how this movie's going to be made and marketed. The atrocious deaths of so many Mexican women should definitely not be fodder for a Hollywood "thriller" movie! Urrgh, there's some protesting/boycotting to be had if this movie comes out poorly! I feel very strongly tied to these murders as a Chicana and I have to be this angry about it. After all, who's looking out for us Mexicanas anyway?




Production Weekly reports that Gregory Nava is in talks with Jennifer Lopez, who he directed in 'Selena', to star in the thriller 'Bordertown'. Lopez would play Lauren, an impassioned American reporter for the Chicago Sentinel who heads to Juarez, a Mexican bordertown, in order to investigate a series of mysterious slayings involving young factory women from all over Mexico. As she discovers hundreds of victims, she gains the trust of local factory workers but falls into danger. Production on the film is scheduled to begin March 7th in Mexico.
