Netflix acquired the rights to Liv Constantine's best-selling book in 2021. The psychological thriller follows a deranged con artist who targets an affluent couple, the Parrishes, as her next victims, reported Variety.

She infiltrates the couple by befriending the wife and wooing the husband, with the ultimate goal of becoming the next Mrs. Parrish, only to find that the wife's life is far more complicated than she could have imagined, as per the outlet.

Andrea Berloff and John Gatins are writing the screenplay. When the film version of "The Last Mrs. Parrish" was announced in 2021, Lisa Rubin (who created Netflix's tv series "Gypsy") was originally hired to pen the script, according to Variety.

Producers include Liza Chasin for 3dot Productions, Molly Sims for Something Happy Productions, and Lopez, Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Benny Medina for Nuyorican Productions.

Lopez recently starred in the inspirational sports drama "Unstoppable" and will appear next in director Bill Condon's "Kiss of the Spider Woman" musical remake.

Zemeckis' filmography includes "Romancing the Stone," "Back to the Future," "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," "Cast Away" and "The Polar Express," reported Variety.

JLo in a psychological thriller? Count me in! She's shown such range in recent years. Can't wait to see her play a complex villain role. 👏

Interesting choice for Zemeckis after his more family-friendly films. The book was a page-turner - hope they do it justice. The casting seems perfect though!

Read the book last summer - SO GOOD! Though I wonder if they'll be able to capture all the twists properly in a movie format. Fingers crossed!

Not sure about this casting. JLo is talented but I imagined someone more understated for this role. Hope she proves me wrong though - the story deserves a great adaptation.

The book was unputdownable! So excited for this adaptation. Between JLo and Zemeckis, this could be amazing. Now I just need to be patient until it comes out... 😅
