Jenni Rivera Movie: Lupillo Rivera Does Not Want His Family Involved In Sister’s Movie

Jenni Rivera's family cannot figure out what role they should play in the late singer's movie. The family announced that they held control over the long awaited film's production; however the singer's brother Lupillo Rivera has gone on record stating that he wanted Angélica Vale to play his sister in "La Diva de La Banda."

Even though Lupillo has weighed in on the casting, it seems he is against his family being involved with the family. He also stated that his desire was for a big studio to produce it, but he did not want to participate in the process. He added that the Rivera family had no idea who would produce, act or direct the film.

Although in contrast to these statements, the Rivera family has been making headlines over the past few weeks by claiming they are the only ones with the rights to make a movie on the singer after director Francisco Joel Mendoza announced he was starting production on a biopic in April.

Mendoza retaliated against the families comments by stating on the Univision program "EL Gordo y La Flaca" that the family's planned movie will be a fiasco even if it has the best stars in Hollywood and Mexico.

While the two parties have constantly bickered back and forth through press releases, there is little news if the move will actually go into production.

However the Rivera family has confirmed plans to release Jenni's unreleased English album. A concert movie is also scheduled for release in July and the third season of Rivera's reality TV show "I Love Jenni," will premiere on April 14 on Mun2. The series will show footage of Rivera shot a month before her fatal death.
