Ben Affleck had massive praise for estranged wife Jennifer Lopez‘s performance in the forthcoming film Unstoppable, which he’s a producer on.
WHAT HE SAID
The Air actor-director, 52, who’s in the middle of a divorce with Lopez, 55, told Entertainment Tonight Sunday that ‘Jennifer is spectacular‘ in the role of Judy Robles in the sports drama.
The two-time Oscar-winner appeared in the interview with friend and Artists Equity production partner Matt Damon, 54; and reigning Best Actor Oscar winner Cillian Murphy, 48, who stars in another movie the production company is releasing, titled Small Things Like These.
ABOUT THE MOVIE, UNSTOPPABLE
Unstoppable, directed by William Goldenberg, is set to arrive in theaters December 6, and features a cast including Lopez, Jharrel Jerome, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña and Don Cheadle.

In Unstoppable, Jerome plays the role of champion Arizona State University amateur wrestler Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg.
‘Unstoppable is a very different movie than this but in a way it’s similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists,’ said Affleck. ‘Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel, and Bobby Cannavale – all were really passionate about this film.’
Affleck said that Unstoppable ‘is another example of’ the kind of films that he and Damon are ‘really really proud of,’ and ‘believed in the right people’ in collaborating with.
