In 2024, Jennifer Lopez released This Is Me Now … A Love Story despite the extreme trepidation voiced by everyone from her longtime production partner to some of the film’s actors. Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, who has worked with Lopez on films like Hustlers and Maid in Manhattan, didn’t think the movie was a good idea. She shared why she never got fully on board with the project.
en Lopez began working on This Is Me Now … A Love Story, she struggled to obtain funding. After one partner pulled out, Lopez decided to finance the film herself. She called Goldsmith-Thomas to tell her she planned to put $20 million into the project.
“I’m in New York and she’s saying, ‘I think I’m going to finance this myself,’” Goldsmith-Thomas told Variety. “I was like, ‘Wait, what?’ I don’t even know what it is. What are you doing?’ I was worried. ‘Why are you sharing your story? It’s too personal. Stop it.’ It made me uncomfortable for her.”
