After making her last two movies with husband-to-be Ben Affleck, J Lo is branching out. She's signed on to star in a remake of the 1996 Japanese film Shall We Dance? with Richard Gere.

Lopez will play a dance instructor who teaches Gere a few moves. Gere takes the lessons to get closer to Lopez during his disintegrating marriage.

Filming will begin later this year.
