While reflecting on their relationship in an interview with Apple Music 1, Lopez said “That album, This Is Me…Then, really captured a time where I fell in love with the love of my life. And I just, it’s all right there on the record. Every single song we wrote, me writing ‘Dear Ben,’ it was such a special moment in time to have captured.”
She added, “I didn’t make music in that way that I did in 2002 until now. It set me on a spiral for the next 18 years where I just couldn’t get it right. But now, 20 years later, it does have a happy ending. It has the most, would never happen in Hollywood ending.”
Per Billboard, Dave Meyers, who directed This Is Me…Now, revealed that the film will focus on Lopez’s highly publicized romantic history. He said, “[It’s a] narrative-driven, intimate, reflective, sexy, funny, fantastical and highly visual musical reimagining of her publicly scrutinized love life.” Oh, and did we mention that the movie was co-written by Lopez and Affleck?
February couldn’t get here fast enough.
