Jennifer Lopez’s ‘Unstoppable’ is stopped.

Unstoppable has actually been stopped—at least temporarily—exclusive. Picketing at their shooting location near USC caused the wrestling drama starring Jennifer Lopez and Jharrel Jerome to halt production for the day earlier this morning.

RedBird Capital and Ben Affleck's and Matt Damon's new production business, Artists Equity, declined to comment. It's unclear at this time if shooting will resume tomorrow.

Around 4:30 a.m., 15 to 25 picketers started converging on Unstoppable's base camp for the day, with strikers attempting to maintain a lockdown on a location with several entries. According to Deadline, the picket line's momentum really ramped up at about six in the morning.

Although filming has been going on for at least two weeks, another person with knowledge of the incident remarked that this is the first time the set has been picketed.

Unstoppable tells the true story of Anthony Robles (Jerome), a three-time All-American wrestler born with one leg who won a national championship at Arizona State. Air, the first feature film from Artists Equity, which closed out this year's SXSW Film Festival before making its debut in theatres and on Prime Video.
