Jennifer Lopez in talks for Jason Statham movie

Jennifer Lopez has entered talks to star in two new movie projects.

The American Idol judge is circling Jason Statham action film Parker, about a thief who gets romantically involved with a woman named Leslie (Lopez) as he prepares a heist.

Taylor Hackford (Ray) is directing the movie based on a novel series by Donald Westlake. Mel Gibson and Lee Marvin have previously played versions of the Parker character in Payback and Point Blank respectively.

Lopez is also discussing the possibility of taking a supporting role opposite Cameron Diaz and Glee's Matthew Morrison in What To Expect When You're Expecting, reports Deadline.

The project, to be directed by Everybody's Fine helmer Kirk Jones, is based on the best-selling childbirth how-to guide.

Lopez last appeared on-screen in romantic comedy The Back-up Plan.

The 'On the Floor' singer is allegedly planning to embark on a world tour to promote her new album Love?. She recently said that she is still unsure about returning to judge another season of American Idol.
