Jennifer Lopez to star in romantic comedy 'Second Act'

Actress-singer Jennifer Lopez is set to produce and star in a new romantic comedy 'Second Act'.

'50 First Dates' director Peter Segal will helm the film, which follows a big-box store employee who, after reinventing herself, gets the chance to prove to Madison Avenue that street smarts are as valuable as a college degree.


The script has been written by

Justin Zackham

and

Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas

.

"There are so many things I love about this project and script. People try to put women to sleep at a certain age. 'Second Act' is a story that empowers the every-woman to do more, to be more, and not limit their dreams," said Lopez.

Lopez's recent feature roles include mystery-thriller 'The Boy Next Door' and animated movie 'Home'.
