J-Lo Won't Play Mexican Artist in Film

(AP) Jennifer Lopez, who was reported star as Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo in an upcoming film has scrapped those plans for another project instead.

Instead, she is in talks to work with Top Gun director, Tony Scott, in an adaptation of the novel, Taking Lives by Michael Pyne. ?Lopez will play the role of an FBI profiler looking for a murderer. ?She will reportedly make $10 million.

A Frida Kahlo biopic, with Salma Hayek playing the painter and Edward Norton, Geoffrey Rush and Ashley Judd co-starring, is still in the works.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the former project would have been a better route, at least for originality's sake. ?I mean how many more FBIPoliceCIASerialKillerMurderer stories do we have to produce?

Salma Hayek seems to be a good replacement though (in the limited knowledge I have of the film).
