Prior topremiering the music video via her official YouTubechannel, J.Lojoined fans in a live Q&A to talk about her new song and movie.

Featuring a colorful cast of women who join forces to create their own storm, the music video, which also features Lopez’s daughter, Emme, sends the empowering message for women everywhere to say: “I am worth something. I have value. I am equal. I am limitless.”

Directed by Peter Segaland starring JLo, Leah Remini, and Vanessa Hudgens, the inspirational film raises some very important conversations about women’s empowerment, honesty, believing in yourself, adoption, “biological clocks,” and of course, second chances.

Lopez plays the role of Maya Vargas, a supermarket assistant manager who wants a promotion on her 43rd birthday. Annoyed that she lost the job to a college-educated candidate, Mya quits her job to further prove that street smarts are just as valuable as book smarts.

Second Act premieres Friday, December 21.

Robert Rodriguez has a new quest…

The 46-year-old Mexican American filmmaker is set to direct Warner Bros. Jonny Quest, film adaptation of the Hanna-Barbera boy hero.

The studio is hoping to create a live-action family adventure franchise.

Rodriguez and Terry Rossio are rewriting a Dan Mazeau draft that made the Black List.

Jonny is the kid who accompanied his scientist father, their bodyguard Race Bannon and Jonny’s pal Hadji on a series of global adventures that always involved some evil conspiracy that forced Jonny to work his way out of danger. Created and designed by Doug Wildey, Jonny Quest was wildly popular when first introduced. The series ran for a season on ABC primetime in 1964 and lives forever in reruns, an updated animated series, and in comic book and merchandising incarnations.

Warner Bros, which got the Hanna-Barbera catalog in the Turner acquisition, has tried numerous times to get this right. Richard Donner took a shot at it; Peter Segal did too. A version had Zac Efron poised to play the title character and Dwayne Johnson to play Bannon.

Rodriguez previous has success with the kid empowerment theme with his own popular Spy Kids films.
