here is some information about the film directed by Martin Brest(Meet Joe Black).

Plot(from http://www.upcomingmovies.com/) : This comedic character piece tells the story of Gigli (Affleck), a hit man in Los Angeles eternally looking for the big score. His latest scheme is the kidnapping of the mentally challenged brother (Bartha) of a powerful district attorney. Successfully getting the brother to his seedy apartment, Gigli teams up with a woman (Lopez) he presumes to be in the business as well... is she; and will Gigli get away with this?


News from same site: Jeannette Walls of MSNBC reports that there are rumors that Jennifer Lopez will have a lesbian kissing/make-out scene.


Martin Brest may not be the most prolific director (at two films a decade, his next film may not be until 2009), but that also means his hits (everything but Meet Joe Black; Brest needs to stick with comedies) stand out even more so. Midnight Run, in particular, is one of the funniest movies of the late 1980's, when on average, there were a lot of good comedies being made, and in my opinion, one of De Niro's best films. Looking at Brest's last five films, he has, each time, worked with some of the biggest stars of our time: George Burns, Eddie Murphy, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Sir Anthony Hopkins, Brad Pitt (his funniest star, no contest, was Charles Grodin). Now, Ben Affleck will be stepping into that rarefied territory, with 2002's Gigli, which also marks the first time Brest has directed a script of his own since the very funny Going in Style, starring George Burns, Art Carney, and Lee Strasberg

Formerly Halle Berry had been in talks for the Lopez role.

Supporting Cast: Justin Bartha and Christopher Walken

Writer: Martin Brest


Filming: Production started in Los Angeles in November, 2001. After wrapping this, Ben Affleck will start filming Surviving Christmas and then Daredevil.

And Joey B. has a sweet pic from the film currently on top of his great news corner.
