J-Lo's new film 'put back'


Producers of Jennifer Lopez's new film have reportedly put back its opening after poor test screenings.

The Mirror says Miramax had hoped the remake of Shall We Dance', also starring Richard Gere, would be one of the box office hits of the summer.

But the paper says it has now been put back to October as producers try to salvage it after test audiences rated it 'abysmal'.

A source told the paper: "Audiences thought there was zero chemistry between J-Lo and Gere.

"
The first cut tested very badly, so execs re-cut the film and showed it again. It got an even worse reception."
