STORMS AND PRETTY HOT NEXT
WEEK.
BACK TO YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH CRAIG.
NOW AT 5:30, OPENING TODAY
IN THEATERS, THE MOVIE HUSTLER
STARRING JENNIFER LOPEZ.
THE FILM IS ALREADY GETTING
RAVE REVIEWS.
THERE IS EVEN OSCAR BUZZ FOR J-
LO.
WHEN I WAS A KID, I ALWAYS
WANTED TO WORK WITH ANIMALS.
Reporter: HUSTLERS IS A TALE
OF NEW YORK STRIPPERS WHO BAND
TOGETHER TO SWINDLE WALL STREET
MEN OUT OF THEIR MONEY AFTER
FALLING ON HARD TIMES IN THE
2008 RECESSION.
THE FILM WAS INSPIRED BY A NEW
YORK CITY MAGAZINE ARTICLE.
JENNIFER LOPEZ PLAYS A VETERAN
STRIPPER WHO ALL THE LADIES AND
MEN ADMIRE.
EVERYONE WAS LIKE, WOW.
THERE WAS JUST THAT BUZZ.
THE WORKOUT ROUTINE, IT HAD TO
BE KIND OF STEPPED UP FOR THIS.
I DID HAVE TO BE STEPPED UP
AND WATCHED WHAT I EAT AT THAT
TIME.
AND I HAD A PROGRAM THAT WAS A
LOT OF PHYSICAL STUFF GOING ON.
BUT ALSO KNEW THAT I WAS GOING
TO BE UP THERE IN A DENTAL
FLOSS.
SO I HAD TO BE READY.
Reporter: SHE HAD TO LEARN
THE DIFFICULT ART OF POLE
DANCING IN SIX WEEKS TIME.
IT WAS THE HARDEST THING I
EVER HAD TO DO FOR A FILM.
HONESTLY.
I WAS JUST SO BRUISED.
Reporter: IN ADDITION TO
LOPEZ WHO DOES DOUBLE DUTY AS A
PRODUCER, THE FILM FEATURES
POWERFUL WOMEN BEHIND THE
SCENES AND IN FRONT OF THE
CAMERA.
WHAT WAS THAT ENERGY LIKE?
TO BE ON A SET, ALL WOMEN
PRODUCERS, WOMAN DIRECTOR,
WOMAN EDITOR.
WOMAN PRODUCTION DESIGNER.
ALL WOMEN STARRING IN IT.
IT WAS A DREAM.
IS IT BASE FOR YOU NOW?
YES.
THIS IS OUR BASE NOW.
WE LIVE HERE.
PROBABLY FOR THE PAST TWO
YEARS.
AND YOUR MAN HAS NOT STOPPED
INSTAGRAMMING.
HE'S THE BEST.
I REMEMBER WE DID THE PREMIER,
I'M SITTING NEXT TO HIM.
HE'S WATCHING THE DANCE AND I'M
GOING THIS IS EITHER GOING TO
BE REALLY GOOD NIGHT OR A
REALLY BAD NIGHT.
