Jennifer Lopez will unveil a new album, This Is Me…Now, and accompanying film, This Is Me…Now: A Love Story, on Feb. 16. In addition, Amazon MGM Studios will release a documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, that showcases how both projects came to be on Feb. 27.
Directed by Jason Bergh, the documentary “follows Jennifer Lopez as she attempts her most daring project yet: independently producing a new album and cinematic original that explore her twenty-year journey to self-love.”
The official synopsis adds that it “offers unflinching access to Jennifer’s most personal moments as she works hard to reclaim her narrative through the making of This Is Me…Now. From interviews with her inner circle, including producing partners and longtime collaborators, to candid home moments, this is a vulnerable portrait of an icon who put it all on the line and discovered a newfound determination in self-acceptance and love.”
The doc is yet another facet of Lopez’s new album, which is the singer’s first release under her Nuyorican partnership with BMG. Aside from the soundtrack album for her movie Marry Me with Maluma, it is Lopez’s first album since 2014’s A.K.A., which featured songs like “I Luh Ya Papi” with French Montana and “Booty” with Pitbull.
Alongside the LP, Lopez has created a “cinematic experience” directed by Dave Meyers, which will also debut on Prime Video. The press release teases that “this genre-bending Amazon original showcases her journey to love through her own eyes,” implying that at least some of the story, which Lopez wrote alongside Matt Walton (with a story by Lopez, Meyers, and Chris Shafer), is based on personal experiences.
This Is Me…Now: A Love Story features an all-star cast, including Fat Joe, Trevor Noah, Kim Petras, Post Malone, Keke Palmer, Sofia Vergara, Jenifer Lewis, Jay Shetty, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Sadhguru, Tony Bellissimo, Derek Hough, Trevor Jackson, Paul Raci, Bella Gagliano, Brandon Delsid, Ashley Versher, Malcolm Kelner, Alix Angelis, Danielle Larracuente, Matthew Law and Ben Affleck.
Lopez previously worked with Bergh on her film Halftime, as well as several ad campaigns. The 2022 documentary offered an inside look at Lopez’s creative process for her Super Bowl performance, as well as producing and starring in Hustlers.
