Filming for Jennifer Lopez's movie Unstoppable stopped on Friday due to the ongoing writers strike.
Production on the wrestling drama flick — which stars the 53-year-old Maid In Manhattan actress — paused amid picketing by the Writers Guild of America, according to Deadline.
It is unknown when the biopic — from her husband Ben Affleck's indie production company with Matt Damon, Artists Equity — will resume filming but is expected to pick back up at the end of the strike at the very latest, the publication reported.
Just weeks before, the Jenny from the Block singer was spotted getting into character and showing off a plethora of fake tattoos while on set in Los Angeles as filming kicked off.
Since then, the strike — which was announced by WGA on May 1 — effectively shutdown their filming on Wednesday, and now production has wholly been suspended for the time being.

The movie tells the true story of the three-time All-American wrestler Anthony Robles — played by Jharrel Jerome — as he prevailed and won a national championship at Arizona State despite being born with only one leg.
