What to Expect from Office Romance
On April 10, Lopez said she still thinks about her character Marisa Ventura from “Maid in Manhattan”.
For the caption, Lopez wrote: “Twenty-something years later and I still think about Marisa Ventura. A single mom who moved through marble lobbies and thread-count sheets that weren’t hers…but carried herself like they could be.”
She revealed that “Maid in Manhattan” started as a script called “The Chambermaid.”
Lopez added: “ @egt239 and I reached out to Wayne Wang and together we dreamed up a girl with her nose pressed to the snow globe of Manhattan. A girl from the Bronx, playing a girl from the Bronx, who dared to dream bigger than her zip code.”
She tagged herself as “so lucky” as she got to share that set with “Natasha Richardson, Bob Hoskins, Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, Tyler Posey and Amy Sedaris. What a movie. What a cast. What a time.”
Looking ahead: Fans eagerly await more details about Office Romance as Lopez embraces her return to the romantic comedy genre.
