Following weeks of negotiations, the 51-year-old Puerto Rican superstar’s big-budget action-comedy Shotgun Wedding, co-starring Armie Hammer, is heading to Amazon Prime Video for a host of major international territories, as well as to some key indie buyers.

Lionsgate will retain the film’s domestic rights.

Lionsgate’s sales division is in final talks to pre-sell the in-demand film to Amazon for UK/Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Australia/New Zealand, Canada, Benelux and Latin America.

Deals are also being finalized with some foreign buyers, including Leonine in Germany and Nordisk in Scandinavia. Negotiations are also ongoing in most Asian markets.

In Shotgun Wedding, Lopez and Hammer will play a couple who gather their lovable but very opinionated families for the ultimate destination wedding just as they begin to get cold feet about their relationship. If that wasn’t enough of a threat to the celebration, suddenly everyone’s lives are in danger when the entire party is taken hostage.

Jason Moore will direct from a screenplay by Mark Hammer and Liz Meriwether.

Production is expected to begin early next year.

 

Lopez is producing the film through her Nuyorican Productions’ company, alongside Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Benny Medina.
