Christina Aguilera could play Jenni Rivera in a biopic.
In a recent exclusive interview with “Ventaneando,” Juan Rivera and Rosie Rivera talked about the possibility of American singer Christina Aguilera playing Jenni Rivera in the biographical film she plans to release soon.
“The last person to read the script was Christina Aguilera. So we need him to know how to sing because we want to sing. Christina Aguilera is a monster “, Juan Rivera declared in his conversation with” Ventaneando “.
For her part, Rosie Rivera also spoke about the possible main role of Christina Aguilera in Jenni Rivera’s biographical film: “The potential of the voice is excellent (…) Jenni loved Christina Aguilera, she has to take care of the line work and we are waiting, we hope he will say yes ”.
In December 2020, the relatives of “Diva de la Banda” announced that they are really working on the production of the film based on the artistic heritage of Jenni Rivera: “In the film we already have the screenwriter, she is a woman and we already have the producer. Now we are just waiting to choose the right producer and director who, based on his experiences working with different artists and celebrities, will choose the protagonist of the role of my sister Jenni.
CNET reported in July 2019 that the rights to make Jenni Rivera’s biographical film had been acquired by the production companies “Mucho Mas Media” and “De Line Pictures”. However, the singer’s relatives will be involved at any time in the production stage.
The aforementioned press explained that the script for the Rivera film project will be in charge of Kate Lanier, who wrote the biographical film “What’s Love Got To Do With It”, based on the life of singer Tina Turner.
According to the AP, Jenni Rivera’s biographer will focus on her struggle to succeed in an environment initially dominated by men. He will also address issues in his personal life, such as falling in love with a man addicted to narcotics and the constant abuse he has faced.
The performer’s life in “De neuitat” was previously shown on the small screen in series such as “Mariposa de Barrio”, a television project authorized by the Rivera family and broadcast on Telemundo in 2017.
While Univision premiered “Her Name Was Dolores, Jenn I Knew” in January 2017, a television series that has always been plunged into controversy after the Rivera family said they disagreed with the making of this project that showed details never exposed before about the singer’s life.
Rivera made his debut in the film industry in 2012 with the participation in the film “Filly Brown”, whose story was based on how difficult it can be to enter as a singer.
Jenni Rivera lost her life at the age of 43 in a tragic plane crash in December 2012 in the Mexican city of Nuevo León.
The singer is remembered for being one of the most important figures in the Mexican regional music industry, her artistic legacy has become a reference for new generations of singers making their way into a musical genre that was initially dominated by men.
