Jennifer Lawrence may be heading for a fifth Oscar nomination with her fearless performance in Die My Love<\/a>, but she already has her eye on the future. According to a new profile for <\/a>The New Yorker<\/a>, Lawrence has been developing a comedy to serve as her directorial debut. She\u2019s been working on the project with writer-producer Kim Caramele, sister of Amy Schumer. The outlet reports the pair are \u201ccurrently working on a second draft of the script.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lawrence and Schumer were working on a script together<\/a> a decade ago, but ultimately it didn\u2019t pan out. \u201cNow that we\u2019re older, a sister comedy might not resonate as much,\u201d Lawrence said in a <\/a>Variety<\/a> profile<\/a> of the comedian in 2024. \u201cBut we have every intention of working together.\u201d Schumer added, \u201cThe way we\u2019re hoping our careers go, we might do something with more grit and teeth.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Oscar winner has long been interested in getting behind the camera. \u201cI have wanted to direct as long as I\u2019ve wanted to act. I just don\u2019t talk about it because I\u2019d rather just do it,\u201d she told <\/a>Entertainment Weekly<\/a> in 2015<\/a>. At the time, Lawrence was signed on to helm Project Delirium, which was \u201cbased on this article about mental warfare in the \u201960s, like an acid experiment gone terribly wrong,\u201d she explained. Project Delirium never materialized, and by 2023, she wasn\u2019t sure if she\u2019d ever get around to it: \u201cYou know, I used to think that [I wanted to direct], and now I\u2019m just so tired. And it just looks so hard,\u201d she said on Good Morning America (via IndieWire<\/a>) not long after having her first of two children.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lawrence has done work behind the scenes, launching her production company Excellent Cadaver in 2018. Under this banner, she\u2019s produced documentaries like Bread & Roses and Zurawski V Texas and some of her own movies, including Die My Love. Martin Scorsese encouraged Lawrence to make the adaptation, and she and her producing partner Justine Ciarrocchi landed Lynn Ramsay as director by \u201c[courting] her via e-mail for months,\u201d per The New Yorker. Nevertheless, it sounds like acting remains her passion. \u201cEven if I\u2019m doing a really, really intense scene, if I\u2019m very angry or very sad, it\u2019s still an adrenaline rush,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cAnd, when I wake up after a cut, none of it is actually happening to me, so I get to have the adrenaline, and the rush, without any of the consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n
