Eva Mendes Gets The Boot From Mexican Drug Lords

Oh snap! Who knew real life and fiction would cross paths like this...

Eva Mendes and the production crew were forced to end filming for an upcoming film about la vida of a hardcore drug smuggler in Mexico titled, "Queen of the South." The Jonathan Jakubowicz was forced to yell out 'CUT' prematurely after receiving threatening phone calls from unidentified suspects of the Mexican mob.

Jonathan released the following statement to the movie going public:

I've worked really hard to make this beautiful movie, but the safety of my family and my team comes first. Making this movie [would have] put us all at risk, not only in Mexico but in the U.S. The world should pray for peace in Mexico.

Guess la diva Eva can't pretend to be la reina of the south. We hope she doesn't have to watch her back. What do you think about this gangster chisme? [NBC]
