Jennifer Lopez in Talks for Two Major Movies. Current 'American Idol' judge Jennifer Lopez recently revealed she's on the fence about returning to the judging table, and now we know why. The singer is in talks to star in two upcoming feature films.

According to Deadline, Lopez is up for the female lead opposite Jason Statham in 'Parker,' an adaptation of the Donald Westlake mystery series. Statham would play the title role, a character Mel Gibson and Lee Marvin both in 'Payback' and 'Point Blank,' respectively. Lopez would play Leslie, a love interest for Parker, who gets involved in a heist.




The studio hopes to create an action franchise, starting with 'Parker,' so if Lopez lands the part, there's a possibility she could appear in a sequel as well.

The second role Lopez has on her plate right now is in the film adaption of 'What to Expect When You're Expecting.' Yep, they're making the pregnancy how-to guide into a movie. Lopez would star alongside Cameron Diaz and Matthew Morrison in a supporting role.

So while Lopez circles a return to the big screen (we're not counting 2010's 'The Back-Up Plan') and her 'Idol' judging chair, at least we have her summer anthem 'On the Floor' to get our J.Lo fix until she makes a decision.
