BC-filmed "The Mother" with Jennifer Lopez drops official trailer (VIDEO)

Netflix released the official trailer for its Canadian-filmed movie The Mother featuring Jennifer Lopez on Tuesday, with Vancouver and Northern BC featuring prominently.

The teaser for the movie came out in September 2022, but now a month ahead of the film’s release, we get a full two-minute and 30-second trailer.

The gritty action movie sees Lopez play an assassin who comes out of hiding to protect her daughter, played by Lucy Paez.

The A-list star was filming for the project in Vancouver in the fall of 2021 before going up to Smithers, BC, to film the wintry scenes seen in the trailer.
