Owen Wilson, Jennifer Lopez may team up for 'Marry Me'

Washington D.C. [USA], Apr 23 (ANI): American actors Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson are all set to team up once again for an upcoming romantic-comedy, ‘Marry Me’.  The two have earlier worked together in the 1997's film 'Anaconda.'
Filmmaker Kat Corio will direct the film and Owen is in final negotiations to join the upcoming film. It is likely to go on floors later this year.

“Owen Wilson is a hilarious and charismatic addition to the film, and the perfect person to play opposite Jen in a role that was quite literally made for her,” Fogelson added.
Lopez, Goldsmith-Thomas, and Medina will produce the film alongside Rogers. Mercer, Alex Brown and J.B. Roberts will serve as the executive producers. (ANI)
