Jennifer Lopez had plenty of people doubt her new film. Its director credits Ben Affleck with 'helping guide the confidence' she needed to make it.



When Jennifer Lopez calls, you answer, which is how Dave Meyers ended up directing the singer's ambitious new film This Is Me ... Now: A Love Story. The $20 million self-funded project is heavily influenced by her bookend romance with Ben Affleck. Lopez was so sure of the movie, which infuses music from her new album, it was hard for Meyers not to get onboard.

"Jen's the reason it happened. She wrote her own check. When people doubted her, when friends doubted her about what she was doing, when her personal people doubted her — 'What the hell are you doing, Jen?' — she was just like, I will die on my sword for what I believe in, and I believe in this," Meyers tells Yahoo Entertainment.

The movie explores true love, self-love and failed romances, one of which depicts an abusive relationship as Lopez sings "Rebound," a scene Meyers says was "tough" to film. Lopez told Yahoo that while certain themes in the movie are rooted in truth, it's not entirely autobiographical and is more "meta." But it was Lopez's "unapologetic boldness to be vulnerable" that made Meyers want to make this movie — and he also had a vision for the film.

"She's such a scrutinized celebrity, you know?" Meyers says. "What can I offer to the scrutiny of the public that would be unexpected and something that they might find interesting? What was really loud in my mind was this idea of her vulnerability and her being honest. Even me knowing her for all these years ... this is a really interesting opportunity if she wants to open up about what she's been through."
