Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have a movie to promote in a matter of weeks, Unstoppable, even though she just filed for divorce on Tuesday.
It was recently announced that Unstoppable will premiere in the Special Presentations section of the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, 2024, followed by a limited theatrical release in December 2024, by Amazon MGM Studios.
Now DailyMail.com has learned that certain producers of the film are “pressuring the two to appear together at the Toronto premiere to build buzz for the film.”
The project is from Ben’s production company, Artists Equity, which he co-founded with longtime friend Matt Damon. Affleck, 51, and Damon, 53, are among the film’s 14 producers.
Lopez, 55, is one of the actresses playing the mother of a wrestler and co-produced the project with her producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas.

Lopez, 55, is one of the actresses playing the mother of a wrestler and was co-produced by her producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas.
Jennifer and Ben split in April.
The couple previously starred together in Gigli (2003) and Jersey Girl (2004). He also appeared in her film This Is Me… Now.
Unstoppable centers on the life of wrestler Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg and won a national championship in 2011 while competing at Arizona State University.
Actor Jharrel Jerome (Moonlight) plays Robles, and the supporting cast includes Bobby Cannavale, Don Cheadle and Michael Peña.
Unstoppable is directed by William Goldenberg, who previously worked with Affleck as an editor on his film Air (2023), as well as Argo (2012).
Ben and Jennifer have another movie they worked on together: Kiss Of The Spiderwoman.
It is based on the novel of the same name by Manuel Puig, and is set in an Argentine prison in 1981. López stars in the title role, a fantasy woman named Aurora created by Luis Molina (Tonatiuh), a gay hairdresser serving an eight-year sentence for allegedly corrupting a minor.
Affleck and Damon are among the co-producers via Artists Equity.
In March 2023, CBS Sunday Mornings asked Affleck about the possibility of collaborating with Lopez on the film.
“How fun, how joyful to do something with her, to see her grow up, to go to work with your wife, to go to work with your best friend,” he said.
