Jennifer Lawrence is set to star in and produce a new romantic comedy whose script caused a massive bidding war earlier this year. One Month Mark, written by Sophie Fleur de Bruijn, carries the logline: “She has never made it past a month in a relationship. He has never gone longer than a month without one.”<\/p>\n

According to Variety<\/a>, Lawrence will team with Apple Original Films for the project. The film will also be produced by Apple Studios, alongside Chernin Entertainment\u2019s David Ready, Brady Fujikawa and Peter Chernin.<\/p>\n

Lawrence and her producing partner Justine Ciarrocchi will also produce for Excellent Cadaver, with De Bruijn executive producing.<\/p>\n

Last month, Chernin Entertainment won the right to produce One Month Mark alongside de Bruijn, after the spec script drew interest from a wide range of producers, studios, and streamers.<\/p>\n

Deadline<\/a> described the race to win the rights as an auction “unlike anything Hollywood had seen post-strike, not only because of the amount of producers chasing but also the secrecy going into it”.<\/p>\n

Several producers told the publication that One Month Mark was “one of the best rom-com scripts in years”. This is the second script from de Bruijn after Early Action, which was acquired by Apple and The Walsh Company last May.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Lawrence is set to reprise her role as Katniss Everdeen<\/a> in the upcoming Hunger Games prequel Sunrise on the Reaping.<\/p>\n

While little has been revealed about Lawrence’s role, the actress teased in January that the new film will be worth the watch<\/a> for fans of the original Hunger Games series. <\/p>\n

The film boasts an ensemble cast which includes Joseph Zada, Jesse Plemons, Elle Fanning, Kieran Culkin, Maya Hawke, Glenn Close and Ralph Fiennes.<\/p>\n

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping is scheduled to be released in cinemas on 20 November.
