Looking lovely in Lanvin, Jennifer Lopez hit the red carpet with co-star Jason Statham at the Film District with The Cinema Society, L’Oreal Paris & Appleton Estate screening of their new film Parker at the Museum of Modern Art on January 23, 2013 in New York City. Joining them for the celebration was director Taylor Hackford and co-star Patti LuPone.

In the crime thriller Statham stars as Parker, a professional thief who lives by a personal code of ethics: Don’t steal from people who can’t afford it and don’t hurt people who don’t deserve it. But on his latest heist, his crew double crosses him, steals his stash, and leaves him for dead. Determined to make sure they regret it, Parker tracks them to Palm Beach, playground of the rich and famous, where the crew is planning their biggest heist ever.

Donning the disguise of a rich Texan, Parker takes on an unlikely partner, Leslie (Lopez), a savvy insider who’s short on cash but big on looks, smarts and ambition. Together, they devise a plan to hijack the score, take everyone down and get away clean.

Parker opens in theaters on January 25th, 2012.

Shooting continued on the crime/thriller Parker on Thursday, September 22nd, 2011 in Boca Raton, Florida. Both Jennifer Lopez and Jason Statham were spotted on set receiving direction from director Taylor Hackford.

I would guess that Ms. Lopez was feeling comfortable in her skirt suit out in this heat more so than Statham who is in a full suit and cowboy boots!

I’m not sure how many fans might be trying to get attention from the Bronx babe but she seems to have protection from both private security and the local police department. I’d personally want to meet Mr. Hot Stuff Statham if I really had the choice!

Shooting will continue in the South Florida area for at least another week.
