Looks like Lionsgate is very pleased with their “Hunger Games” star Jennifer Lawrence, and are now eager to keep her undeniable talent within their family. Deadline reports Lionsgate is now in talks with Lawrence to star in an adaptation of gossip columnist Jeanne Walls’ memoir “The Glass Castle”, though the project still appears to be in the very early stages.
If everything comes together, Lawrence will take on yet another role of a young woman with ill-fit parental figures who must look after younger siblings. Walls describes in her memoir – which was on the New York Times Bestseller list for over 250 weeks – how she was raised along with three siblings by a brilliant but often intoxicated father and a mother who described herself as an “excitement addict”, moving their family from place to place, living like nomads and often camping in mountains. The children had to fend for themselves and eventually, find a way to leave their dysfunctional parents. Lionsgate has bought the rights and tapped Marti Noxon to adapt the screenplay.
Lawrence is one of the busiest young actresses working today after landing an Oscar nomination for “Winter’ Bone” in 2011, and will undoubtedly become busier as even more people discover just how talented she is. She is currently in Prague filming Susanna Bier’s “Serena” opposite Bradley Cooper, with whom she also recently completed work on David O. Russell’s “The Silver Linings Playbook.” She’ll go back to work on “The Hunger Games” when sequel “Catching Fire” begins filming in August, and then she’s committed to returning as Mystique to the sequel to “X-Men: First Class” in January. In September she can be seen in horror flick “House a the End of the Street.”
