I ask this question because those are the three names currently circling the lead role in Queen of the South Warner Independent has just nabbed Jonathan Jakubowicz ( ) to helm the film, which revolves around a "Mexican woman who escaped Spain after her drug mule boyfriend is killed, then becomes a drug kingpin and seeks revenge for her boyfriend's murder." Based on Arturo Perez-Reverte's novel, they're calling this one a female version of -- which automatically piques my interest -- and appears to be one of the more sought-after female roles out there right now.
If you want my opinion, I'd have to say J-Lo is the frontrunner here. Cruz is too cute and fragile, and Mendes hasn't shown me enough range to take on a role like this -- whereas Lopez is a pretty decent actress when she's given the right material.
