\n\tWhat has been buzzed about is becoming a reality: Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence<\/a> is starring in Zach Cregger<\/a>\u2018s next movie The Flood<\/a> at Warner Bros\u2019 New Line Cinema. The pic has a release date of August 11, 2028.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe sci-fi thriller brings the Weapons filmmaker back to New Line on a project he\u2019ll direct, produce and write based on his original idea. The news comes as Cregger\u2019s Resident Evil for Sony\/Constantin has just crossed the two-century mark at the global box office.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cJennifer Lawrence is one of the most gifted and compelling actors working today, and we are thrilled to have her at the center of Zach\u2019s bold and wholly original vision for The Flood,\u201d said Warner Bros Motion Picture chairs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy. \u201cFollowing our extraordinary experience together on Weapons, we could not be more excited to reunite with Zach and the team at Vertigo, as well as Amblin to bring this ambitious film to audiences around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSaid Cregger, \u201cMike, Pam and the whole Warner Bros\/New Line team were an absolute dream to collaborate with on Weapons, and I couldn\u2019t be happier to dive in with them again. Jennifer is one of a kind, and I\u2019m beyond excited to see her in this role.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAmblin Entertainment is producing The Flood alongside Roy Lee and Miri Yoon of Vertigo Entertainment. Plot details are being kept under wraps.<\/p>\n

\n\tWeapons led the domestic box office for four consecutive weeks and earned $270 million worldwide last year, ranking among 2025\u2019s highest-grossing horror films. Amy Madigan won the Oscar<\/a> for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Aunt Gladys, a character whose story will continue in the upcoming film Gladys.<\/p>\n

\n\tLawrence won the Best Actress Oscar in 2013 for her performance in Silver Linings Playbook and has also starred in American Hustle, Joy, Don\u2019t Look Up and The Hunger Games franchise. Through her production company Excellent Cadaver, she has produced films including Causeway, No Hard Feelings and Die My Love, as well as the documentaries Zurawski v Texas and the Peabody-winning Bread and Roses. Most recently, Lawrence earned a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in Die My Love. Up next, Excellent Cadaver will produce What Happens at Night, starring Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio and directed by Martin Scorsese.<\/p>\n

\n\tLawrence is represented by LBI Entertainment and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller & Gellman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What has been buzzed about is becoming a reality: Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence is starring in Zach Cregger\u2018s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":915265,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[49,48,361,75,106232,122960,14159],"class_list":["post-915264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-jennifer-lawrence","tag-the-flood","tag-zach-cregger"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/915264","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=915264"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/915264\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/915265"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=915264"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=915264"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=915264"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
