Jennifer Lopez continues to take more control of her film career, locking in a deal with Netflix to star in and produce an adaptation of bestseller Cipher.
There's no writer or director attached yet for the film version of Isabella Malondo's novel, but Lopez will play FBI agent Nina Guerrera, who finds herself drawn into a serial killer’s case after he strategically posts complex codes and riddles online. The codes correspond to recent murders, designed to lure her into a cat-and-mouse chase.
The actress has several films headed to screens in the coming year, including rom-com Marry Me, drug lord drama The Godmother and Shotgun Wedding.
