Get ready for a Can-Do fiesta, because Jennifer Lopez is putting on her hard hat and stepping into the world of construction! The multi-hyphenate superstar is teaming up with Mattel Films to executive produce an animated “Bob the Builder” movie, bringing the beloved handyman to the big screen in a brand new adventure.
Joining Lopez on the project is another powerhouse talent, actor and singer Anthony Ramos. Ramos, known for his roles in “In the Heights” and “Hamilton,” will be lending his voice to the titular Bob, bringing the cheery builder to life with his signature charisma and musical flair.
This won’t be your typical toolbox and tipper truck affair, though. The “Bob the Builder” movie is set to have a fresh, contemporary twist, with Ramos’ portrayal of Bob infusing the character with a vibrant Latin energy.
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Jennifer Lopez and Nuyorican Productions to bring this beloved franchise to the big screen,” said Mattel Films executive producer Robbie Brenner. “Jennifer’s passion and commitment to creating positive role models, combined with Anthony Ramos’s charisma and talent, make them the perfect team to breathe new life into Bob the Builder for a new generation.”
Lopez, who is no stranger to empowering projects, expressed her excitement about the film’s potential to inspire young minds. “I’m so excited to be a part of this project,” she said. “Bob the Builder is a classic that has taught kids about teamwork, problem-solving, and the importance of hard work for generations. I can’t wait to introduce Bob to a new audience and show them that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.”
With Lopez’s production prowess and Ramos’s infectious energy, this “Bob the Builder” movie has all the makings of a family-friendly blockbuster. So grab your tools, porque estamos listos para construir! (That’s “because we’re ready to build” in Spanish, for a little extra Bob-the-Builder-meets-JLo flair.)
Here are some additional details you could include, depending on your preference:
- The movie is still in early development, so a release date has not yet been announced.
- The plot of the film is also under wraps, but it is expected to be an original story that expands on the “Bob the Builder” universe.
- Some fans are speculating that Lopez might also voice a character in the movie, but this has not been confirmed.
