American actor Jennifer Lopez is all set to star in the upcoming Netflix film titled 'The Mother'. The actor will also be bankrolling the action feature. As per Variety, filmmaker Niki Caro, who recently helmed Disney's 'Mulan' remake, is in talks to direct the forthcoming movie. 'The Mother' will focus on a deadly assassin who comes out of hiding to protect the daughter she gave up years before.

'Lovecraft Country' fame showrunner Misha Green is penning the screenplay, with current revisions by Andrea Berloff. Apart from Lopez, Elaine Goldsmith Thomas is producing for Nuyorican Productions, as well as Green, Benny Medina, and Roy Lee, and Miri Yoon for Vertigo Entertainment. Apart from 'The Mother', Lopez is also teaming with Netflix for another film, an adaptation of the bestselling book 'The Cipher', the publication had reported in December 2020. She will also produce and star in the movie, revolving around an FBI agent who finds herself drawn into a serial killer's strategically designed cat-and-mouse chase.
