\n\tJennifer Lawrence<\/a> will star in Zach Cregger<\/a>\u2018s buzzy sci-fi thriller \u201cThe Flood\u201d from Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema. Cregger is set to write, produce and direct the film, which is set for release on Aug. 11, 2028. <\/p>\n

\n\tAmblin Entertainment serves as producer alongside Roy Lee and Miri Yoon of Vertigo Entertainment. Plot details and further casting remain under wraps. <\/p>\n

\n\tLawrence, an Academy Award winner for 2012\u2019s \u201cSilver Linings Playbook,\u201d brings some serious prestige to Cregger\u2019s latest genre play. Probably best known for her breakout as the face of \u201cThe Hunger Games\u201d franchise, Lawrence\u2019s most recent film credits are \u201cDie My Love\u201d with Robert Pattinson, Gene Stupnitsky\u2019s rom-com \u201cNo Hard Feelings\u201d and the A24 drama \u201cCauseway.\u201d One of her other upcoming projects includes the Martin Scorsese thriller \u201cWhat Happens at Night.\u201d She will also appear in the upcoming \u201cHunger Games\u201d prequel \u201cSunrise on the Reaping.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe Flood\u201d sees Cregger reunite with Warner Bros. after the studio released his twisty 2025 horror mystery \u201cWeapons.\u201d A follow-up to his 2022 breakout \u201cBarbarian,\u201d the film was a commercial and critical success, grossing $270 million worldwide off a budget of less than $40 million. The film also earned Amy Madigan a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as the evil Aunt Gladys, who, in the film, steals a classroom full of children in the middle of the night right under the noses of their manic teacher and overprotective parents. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMike, Pam and the whole Warner Bros.\/New Line team were an absolute dream to collaborate with on \u2018Weapons,\u2019 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 Cregger said.<\/p>\n

\n\tWarner Bros. co-chairs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy added, \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 \u2018The Flood.\u2019 Following our extraordinary experience together on \u2018Weapons,\u2019 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
