Get ready for another onslaught of Jennifer Lawrence. Ever since Lionsgate moved the Hunger Games franchise to the fall and she started making movies with David O. Russell, Lawrence has owned the season. That’s not going to stop once she’s done with Katniss Everdeen.
In her cover interview with Vogue’s Jonathan Van Meter, Lawrence gave some insight into how her career will work now that she’s done with her star-making franchise. With The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 hits theaters on Nov. 20, Lawrence already has a long list of projects lined up. That list starts with Passengers, which she’s currently working on.
Passengers is a sci-fi film that’s been floating around Hollywood for years. Sony is now making it, with Chris Pratt as the male lead and The imitation Game’s Morten Tyldum directing. It will open in December 2016.
“I knew that coming out of Hunger Games it was a bad move to do a big blockbuster,” Lawrence told Vogue. “I want to get back to my roots, back to indies, where I started. And then I read Passengers, and I loved it. This is my first time saying yes now that I am completely free of franchises. So there’s an elephant on my chest.”
After that will likely be Steven Spielberg’s It’s What I Do, a biopic based on the life of Lynsey Addario, a war photographer who worked in Afghanistan. “It’s so good. Addario is a f**king badass” is all Lawrence would say about that one.
The most mysterious project Lawrence has on the docket is a film with Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky. She agreed to make that one after leaving The Rosie Project last month. Vogue reports that Aronofsky read the entire script to Lawrence over a bottle of wine in his New York apartment. The actress signed on immediately.
Oh, and she also has her movie with Amy Schumer that she's writing. There's also X-Men: Apocalypse, which opens on May 27.
“It doesn’t feel like I’m being towed behind something anymore,” she said of her career. “It feels like I’m towing it.”
In addition to Mockingjay 2, Lawrence will also be seen in Joy, directed by Russell, on Christmas Day.
