: Film Elbow For Ben 'n Jen
: Flop couple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck had been axed from posters for their new movie.
: Jersey Girl producer Miramax told their marketing team to scrap images of both stars after their last film Gigli bombed at the box office.
: And J.Lo's character now dies in the first 15 MINUTES!
: Director Kevin Smith, 33, started trimming her scenes after her performance went down badly with preview audiences.
: A source said: "After Gigli, Miramax doesn't want to take any chances with another laughing stock flop."
: "They're going to promote this as a Kevin Smith movie."
: Gigli was a disaster in America and was pulled from UK cinemas after just one week. Before the failure, film bosses had ordered Smith to cash in on the couple's romance.
: He said Miramax co-chairman Harvey Weinstein told him: "Let's have a smuch of Jennifer in...because we paid her $4 million for the movie."
: J.Lo,33, and Affleck,31, called off their wedding last month, and were rumored to have split. But they have since appeared together.
