Per The Hollywood Reporter, Jennifer Lopez is set to star in and exec produce an untitled TV movie revolving around late drug lord Griselda Blanco. She was a notorious drug lord known as “The Cocaine Godmother” who revolutionized the U.S. drug trade during the 1970s and 1980s and became the most powerful female cartel member of all time.
Jennifer will star in the film, which is in development, and also exec produce via her Nuyorican Productions alongside Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, Benny Medina, as well as LBI Entertainment’s Julie and Rick Yorn. Alex Pettyfer will co-exec produce alongside Nuyorican’s Priscilla Porianda and LBI’s Patrick Walmsley.
“I’ve been fascinated by the life of this corrupt and complicated woman for many years,” Jennifer said. “The idea of teaming with HBO felt like the perfect fit for finally bringing Griselda’s story to life.”

“I’ve always been inspired by Jennifer and love the way she looks in my shoes – it was a natural evolution to collaborate together, ”says Giuseppe Zanotti in a press release. “The collection, like Jennifer, is sensual, sophisticated, modern but also playful with a bit of edge.”
“I think it goes without saying that like every other girl, I love a killer pair of shoes” says Jennifer Lopez. “ Whether I’m walking the red carpet or dressed casually, the right shoes complete my outfit to make me feel beautiful, sexy, and fearless. The collection Giuseppe and I have created is everything you would expect from the both of us – bad ass high heels with shapes that are fierce and of course, have some sparkle!”
Bringing together the different facets of Jennifer Lopez’s style with Giuseppe Zanotti’s signature aesthetic, shoes in the collection range from crystal-encrusted open-toe booties to embellished wedge sneakers to strappy gladiators in snakeskin-print leather. At once feminine and contemporary, the color palette features dreamy pastels, cool grays and warm beiges. Two styles of leather handbags with artful detailing complete the collection.
