However, Lopez is crediting the behind the scenes girl power with making the movie a truly memorable experience. It also made the success of the film “a little bit sweeter.”
“It had all women producers and a woman director and a woman writer and an all-woman cast, and a woman editor. We really went deep. And you don’t see that often. I’ve made, I don’t know how many movies, 30 or 40 movies in my career, and this was the first time that happened. So, it was a pretty special unicorn event. It’s great that it’s being received in the way it is,” the brunette beauty expressed.
Hustlers has earned a lot of buzz and acclaim for the all-female flick that was a massive success at the box-office. All the positives surrounding the film is proving to Hollywood studio executives that a female starring predominantly women can be a hit.
“It shows we can not only make a good movie, but we can also make a successful movie that makes money. That matters in this business. So that was an amazing thing to be a part of,” Lopez said.
