J.Lo and Anthony in indie biopic
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony will begin filming El Cantante next month, according to Production Weekly.

Written and directed by Leon Ichaso, the film will chronicle the life of renowned salsa singer Hector Lavoe. Although a leading member of the salsa scene in the 1970s, heroin addiction ruined him financially and he died from AIDS-related complications. Lopez will play Hector's wife, Puchi.

Filming will start on November 14 in New York for a four-week run, to be followed by a week in Puerto Rico.
