Jennifer Lawrence to Star in Darren Aronofsky’s next filmOctober 14, 2015 - 19:22 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - With “The Hunger Games” franchise coming to a close next month, Jennifer Lawrence has set her sights on a project with one of Hollywood’s top helmers, Variety reports. Sources tell Variety that Jennifer Lawrence is in talks to star in an untitled indie that Darren Aronofsky has declared as his next project. The film is currently without a distributor but insiders say the “Black Swan” director has begun reaching out to actors with hopes to begin shooting this spring. Lawrence is currently filming the Sony Pictures sci-fi drama “Passengers,” but with “The Hunger Games” and “X-Men” franchises no longer on her schedule, she’ll have more availability beginning in 2016. Lawrence has become one of the more in-demand talents in town; several projects are being developed for her, but nothing has been given the greenlight for the production. As for the director, Aronofsky had been eyeing a handful of projects, including an untitled Evel Knievel biopic at Sony starring Channing Tatum, from which he has since moved on. The director currently has a first-look deal at New Regency, so there is a possibility this untitled project ends up at New Regency since they would get first dibs when Aronofsky is ready to turn it in to execs. He had turned in a script to the company earlier this year about a boy living in Staten Island whose drawings come to life. But when budget disputes could not be settled, he turned his attention to writing this untitled project in hopes of making it his next directorial endeavor. Lawrence can be seen next in “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2” and Fox’s “Joy.” Top stories The creative crew of the Public TV had chosen 13-year-old Malena as a participant of this year's contest.
