Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein have been cast in a new romantic comedy for Netflix called “Office Romance.” Lopez is an experienced romantic comedy star known for movies like “The Wedding Planner” and “Maid in Manhattan.” Goldstein is best known for his Emmy-winning role on the hit show “Ted Lasso.”
The movie is being written by Goldstein and Joe Kelly, who both write for “Ted Lasso.” Their collaboration suggests the script may include funny and clever lines of dialogue. Lopez has already made three movies for Netflix, showing her strong relationship with the streaming service. For Goldstein, the movie continues his expansion from television into feature films.
Details about the plot are still secret. However, the movie takes advantage of Lopez’s popularity in the romantic comedy genre. Audiences regularly flock to see her in movies about love and relationships. Goldstein’s role represents an opportunity to showcase his talent beyond his famous character, Roy Kent, on “Ted Lasso.”
While no director has been named yet, their choice could impact the movie’s tone as it blends Lopez’s mainstream appeal with Goldstein’s edgier humor. Set for release after its festival debut in December, Lopez is also starring in the sports drama “Unstoppable” directed by William Goldenberg.
With famous stars and experienced writers involved, “Office Romance” has potential for success when it debuts on Netflix. More information promised to surface soon on the story and additional actors joining Lopez and Goldstein in this upcoming romantic comedy.
