Jennifer Lopez to Play Drug Lord Griselda Blanco in HBO TV Movie
Jennifer Lopez is headed for HBO.
The star of NBC's Shades of Blue is set to topline and executive produce an untitled TV movie revolving around late drug lord Griselda Blanco, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The film, which is in development, focuses on the rise and fall of Blanco, the notorious drug lord known as "The Cocaine Godmother" who revolutionized the U.S. drug trade during the 1970s and 1980s and became the most powerful female cartel member of all time.
Lopez will star and executive produce via her Nuyorican Productions banner alongside company topper Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and the singer-actress's manager, Benny Medina, as well as LBI Entertainment's Julie and Rick Yorn. Alex Pettyfer will co-executive produce alongside Nuyorican's Priscilla Porianda and LBI's Patrick Walmsley; the actor is attached only as a co-executive producer and it's unclear if Pettyfer will have any onscreen role in the movie.
"I’ve been fascinated by the life of this corrupt and complicated woman for many years,” Lopez said Wednesday in a statement. “The idea of teaming with HBO felt like the perfect fit for finally bringing Griselda’s story to life.”
For Lopez, the HBO movie comes as production continues on season two of NBC drama Shades of Blue, which she also exec produces. The singer-actress has been making a major TV push of late, with Nuyorican also behind Freeform's critical darling The Fosters.
