Cell actress Jennifer Lopez is set to return to the sci-fi genre for a new Netflix project from Rampage director Brad Peyton. The pop megastar, who garnered acclaim for her performance in 2019's Hustlers will star in and produce Atlas, which is based on an original script from Leo Sardarian.

Aron Eli Coleite is writing the most recent draft, while Joby Harold and Tory Tunnell will produce for Safehouse Pictures along with Peyton and Jeff Fierson for ASAP Entertainment.

The story follows Atlas, "a woman fighting for humanity in a future where an AI soldier has determined the only way to end war is to end humanity. To outthink this rogue AI, Atlas must work with the one thing she fears most — another AI."

“I’m so honored to be working with Jennifer, Elaine and the rest of the team at Nuyorican Productions along with our partners Joby and Tory at Safehouse,” Peyton said. “Having the chance to direct Jennifer in the title role of this movie is a dream come true, as I know she’ll bring the incredible strength, depth and authenticity we’ve all come to admire from her work. Furthermore, Jeff and I are so excited to be back working with Scott, Ori and the entire team at Netflix. They have been nothing short of amazing to work with and we are blessed to have the opportunity to make another movie on the service.”

Lopez also has Universal rom-com Marry Me opposite Loki's Owen Wilson and Lionsgate action comedy Shotgun Wedding coming up in 2022.

Having an IA wanting to end humanity is one of the biggest cliches, so this movie has to work really hard to win me over.

And I guess more and more singers move into the movie business. Another think this has to convince me off can turn out well.
