Lawrence dropped some major truth bombs while doing promo for her upcoming comedy No Hard Feelings, starting with if she would ever pick up Katniss’ bow and arrow and play this beloved character again.

“Oh, my God – totally! If Katniss could ever come back into my life, 100 percent… My producing partner just clutched her heart,” she told Variety.

Lawrence’s statement doesn’t come as a shocker since she previously told The New York Times that The Hunger Games movies were fantastic and that the only thing that gave her pause about them was the level of fame they would bring into her life.

The Hunger Games franchise will go on without Lawrence, and the prequel about the young Coriolanus Snow, titled The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, is set to come out this year. The Oscar-winning star jokingly told The New York Times that this news makes her feel “old as mold” because she’s fully aware that The Hunger Games films will most likely be remade one day, but she’ll be too old to play Katniss when that moment comes.

According to its official synopsis, this laugh-out-loud comedy focuses on Maddie, a young woman who’s on the brink of losing her childhood home, when she discovers an intriguing job listing: wealthy “helicopter” parents are looking for someone to date their introverted son Percy before he goes off to college.

As the trailer progresses, we quickly learn this won’t be an easy mission as each of their “dates” ends up in disaster—from Maddie getting pepper sprayed because Percy thinks she’s trying to kidnap him to ruining a high school party with their erratic behavior.

No Hard Feelings from Gene Stupnitsky, the director of Good Boys and Bad Teacher, who co-wrote the script with John Phillips. In addition to Lawrence, who’s also serving as a producer, the film stars Andrew Barth Feldman, Matthew Broderick, Laura Benanti, Natalie Morales, Scott MacArthur, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Hasan Minhaj, and Kylie Mooney.

No Hard Feelings will be released by Sony Pictures on June 23.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence take on the lead roles as two low-level astronomers, trying to warn mankind of an approaching comet that will destroy planet Earth. After being met with indifference by President Janie Orlean (Meryl Streep) and her sycophantic son Jason (Jonah Hill), they’re forced to embark on a giant media tour, in the hope other people will listen and care.

The teaser trailer also offers glimpses of several other A-list stars set to appear in this film, including Timothée Chalamet, Ariana Grande, Mark Rylance, and Cate Blanchett.

Don’t Look Up is the latest directorial effort by Adam McKay, whose previous two films The Big Short and Vice were met with universal critical acclaim and received several Oscar nominations. Don’t Look Up is his first film in three years, and it will receive a limited theatrical release on December 10th before premiering on Netflix on December 24th.

This intriguing comedy will start shooting this April, and it will tell the story of two low-level astronomers who embark on a media tour to warn the world that there’s a giant asteroid approaching Earth and threatening the survival of mankind.

Don’t Look Up will be McKay’s first directorial effort since his Oscar-nominated Dick Cheney biopic Vice, and he can’t wait to join forces with Lawrence to bring this story to life.

“I’m so thrilled to make this movie with Jen Lawrence. She’s what folks in the 17th century used to call ‘a dynamite act. And the fact that Netflix sees this movie as a worldwide comedy sets the bar high for me and my team in an exciting and motivating way,” said the Academy Award-winning filmmaker.

Interestingly enough, this isn’t McKay’s only project that Lawrence is attached to star in. The Hunger Games actress is also expected to play the lead role in Bad Blood, the story of disgraced biotech entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes.

Lawrence will also produce the big-screen adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Teresa Carpenter true-crime story. 

The story in Carpenters’ 1992 book spans across the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s following a woman who became a real-life mob wife and then later a police informant.

Variety, which was first to report the news, writes, “The film follows Brickman who grows up among racketeers on the Lower East Side of New York City where she’s drawn to the glamorous and flashy lifestyle of New York mobsters. Soon after, she begins dating ‘wiseguys’ and running errands for them, before getting in on the action herself — eventually becoming a police informant and a major witness in the government’s case against the Colombo crime family.”

“Seeing this story from a woman’s point of view is a fresh and exciting approach to telling a classic mob story,” says Makeready Founder and CEO, Brad Weston. “We could not imagine a more perfect team of stellar filmmakers, with Jennifer starring in a tour de force role and Paolo at the helm, to bring Arlyne’s strength and unique perspective to life on screen.”

Sorrentino is directing the film while Angelina Burnett is adapting the script.

The frequent director-actress collaborators got candid about working together. The duo has collaborated on a trio of films together —Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle, and Joy, which grosses a very impressive $588.7M at the global box office.

The first time the two worked together was on Silver Linings Playbook. But Russell had his doubts working with the young actress and she was the last to board the project. 

“For Silver Linings,” he said, “we thought you were too young and there were other actresses in the front of the line who were close to getting the role.”

But getting to work with Russell’s was a formative experience for Lawrence who told the director, “You shaped me.”

“I would put it this way: She showed up and she was, like, a raw talent that had no neuroses and no self-consciousness,” Russell said. “She was completely fearless. She would come into the scene like a weather system and leave me and Bob [De Niro] and Bradley [Cooper] and Jacki Weaver and Chris Tucker just kind of like, wow.”

By the time he began working on American Hustle Russell knew he wanted to work with Lawrence but she was “technically not available.”

“I called her up on her vacation and I said, ‘I feel like I would be remiss as your friend if I did not give you one last chance to say no to this role,” he recalled. “You said, ‘will I get to have big hair and long nails and be crazy?’ And I said yes, and you said, ‘Okay, I’ll do it.’”

Lawrence and her producing partner Justine Polsky already inked a first-look film deal with Makeready to develop star-vehicles for the Oscar-winning actress under their banner. Their founder and CEO Brad Weston can’t wait to start working with the young star, who’s proven to be a one-of-a-kind actress and businesswoman in a relatively short amount of time.

“Her versatility and commitment to working with the greatest filmmakers in the industry highlights our shared ambition to create thoughtful, fearless films, and we are extremely excited to partner with Jennifer and Justine as they start this new chapter,” said Weston.

Jennifer Lawrence recently took a brief sabbatical from acting, but she’ll make a comeback in the summer of 2019. She’s set to reprise the role of Mystique in the upcoming superhero flick Dark Phoenix, before starting to work on new projects.

But, it appears as though Jennifer Lawrence still has some regrets.

The Hollywood girl-next-door revealed on the Howard Stern Show that she really wanted to be cast as the bewildered Alice in the Tim Burton production of Alice in Wonderland, claiming that she is still “devastated” over not getting the role.

During the interview with the shock-jock, Jennifer said that, “the one thing that really killed me, like the only time I’ve ever been truly devastated by losing an audition ― ’cause most of the time you’re like, ‘Ah, wasn’t meant to be, move on, what can you do?’ ― was Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.”

The role in the 2010 film, of course, went to Australian actress, Mia Wasikowska, with the Red Sparrow star graciously saying that Mia delivered a perfect performance.

Let’s hope that Jen’s future roles give her reason to smile like Cheshire cat.

“I dropped out of middle school,” – Lawrence told Bill Whitaker. “I don’t technically have a GED or a diploma. I am self-educated.”

Asked whether she regrets making that decision, the Red Sparrow star said that she doesn’t.

“I wanted to forge my own path. I found what I wanted to do and I didn’t want anything getting in the way of it,” – she added. “Even friends, for many years, were not as important to me as my career, I mean, from the age of 14.”

Although it must have looked like a crazy decision back then, today’s success of Jennifer Lawrence shows that she made the right decision. Lawrence started her acting career in 2006 with a small role in the television film Company Town and went on to have guest appearances on TV shows like Monk and Medium.

After being a series regular on TBS’ The Bill Engvall Show, Lawrence starred in the 2010’s movie Winter’s Bone, which turned out to be her breakthrough role. She went on to star in the X-Men film series as a younger version of the character Mystique and snatched the role of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games. Jennifer Lawrence continued to enjoy success in the following years, starring in multiple blockbuster hits as well as winning an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Tiffany Maxwell in 2012’s Silver Linings Playbook.

During an interview on Thursday with Entertainment Tonight, the  Red Sparrow actress announced that she plans on taking a year off from acting in films.

Lawrence wants to work with an organization called Represent.Us, a non-profit organization whose mission is to “to pass tough anti-corruption laws in cities and states across America, and end the legalized corruption that has come to define modern politics.” Lawrence told Entertainment Tonight that “It doesn’t have anything to do with partisan [politics].” This specific move aligns with Lawrence’s past initiatives including her involvement in The Women’s March and being a voice for the women of Hollywood; advocating for equal and fair pay for both women and men in the film industry.

However, according to her representative, Lawrence will still be acting in films throughout the year. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Lawrence’s representative stated that she “will return to work when one of [her] several projects in development is ready to go.”

In the meantime, Red Sparrow hits theaters March 2, 2018.
