Jennifer Lopez Producing Bob the Builder Film

Amazon MGM Studios has secured the rights to develop a new animated film featuring Bob the Builder, winning a competitive bidding war against major studios like Netflix and DreamWorks Animation. The film will be produced by Jennifer Lopez's Nuyorican Productions alongside ShadowMachine, the studio known for Guillermo del Toro's 'Pinocchio'. Anthony Ramos will voice the titular character, Roberto, in a story set in Puerto Rico that explores themes of resilience within Latino culture. The project, which aims to highlight the vibrant Caribbean heritage, will follow Bob as he takes on construction challenges on the island. While Lopez has a background in animation, it remains unclear if she will participate as a voice actor in the film. A release date for the movie has yet to be announced.
