J-Lo’s “The Governess” Still in Preproduction

Still no word on when Jennifer Lopez’s next film, The Governess, will begin shooting. One source questioned whether the production company for the project, Yari Film Group, was still going forward with the film.

I’m wondering this myself. The Internet Movie Database (imdb) says the movie is in pre-production right now and is still slated for a December 2009 release. So they do have a bit of time to get this thing going.

The Governess is another romantic comedy, which Jennifer does very well in. I’d heard she was trolling for projects of a more serious nature so she could get into contention for the Oscars, but as of yet that’s all been rumor. I’m really looking forward this film, which is about a thief that “poses as a wealthy widower’s nanny” and then falls in love with her employer. Her costar for this flick isn’t listed yet but I can’t wait to find out who they pair her with. The strength of the costar will make a huge difference in the chemistry (not that J-Lo doesn’t strike up chemistry with just about everyone she works with!)
