Unstoppable director William Goldenberg explained in an interview with Vanity Fair that Jen being the wife of the movie’s main producer Ben wasn’t why she got the role.

“[Judy should be portrayed by] somebody who’s lived a life, and I felt like Jennifer was one of the few actresses who could play the part,” William told the news outlet. “I think that she was right for it, and it was also serendipity that he happened to be married to the person we sort of wanted all along anyway.

Unstoppable will be the first film the pair have collaborated on together since getting married in 2022. Before Unstoppable, the couple worked together on Jennifer’s This Is Me…Now: A Love Story musical film that was released earlier this year.

They have been rumored to be having marital problems for months. As the pair is reportedly on the brink of breaking up, the Lets Get Loud songstress is claimed to be struggling to come to terms with that she’s going to have another failed marriage.
