The Oscar-winning director behind movies like Forrest Gump, Castaway, and Back to the Future is reportedly collaborating with Jennifer Lopez on his next project. Per Deadline, sources say that Robert Zemeckis, who last directed the 2024 feature Here, will team up with Lopez on an adaptation of The Last Mrs. Parrish, a bestselling 2017 novel by Liv Constantine. The project is on the slate at Netflix.

The Last Mrs. Parrish will follow a con-artist, played by Lopez, who targets the Parrishes, a wealthy couple, to be her next victims. In the film, Lopez’s character will pretend to be friends with the wife while seducing the husband, with the end goal of becoming the next Mrs. Parrish. However, she discovers that the wife’s life is much more convoluted than she thought. The novel was a Reese Witherspoon book club pick and has sold over a million copies.
