J.Lo’s ‘Jersey Girl’ Screen Time Evaporated After ‘Gigli’

The issue of Jennifer Lopez’s screen time on ‘Jersey Girl’ changed radically when ‘Gigli,’ starring Ben Affleck and Lopez, crashed last summer, not long before their off-screen relationship collapsed. “When I cast the movie, I went, ‘I’ve got Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez and Liv Tyler – we’re going to open at No. 1,’” director Kevin Smith told The New York Daily News. “The moment ‘Gigli’ bombed, I was like, ‘That will never happen.’ Hopefully ['Jersey Girl'] will have legs. People will say, ‘Oh, it’s definitely a movie worth seeing. It’s not about Ben and Jennifer – it’s about him and a kid.”
