On The Outside

Jennifer Lawrence has landed a new role. The star will be re-teaming with her Hunger Games director, Gary Ross for East of Eden.

Based on the novel by John Steinbeck, “The novel previously was adapted into one picture, the 1955 Eliza Kazan-directed film that starred James Dean and Richard Davalos as sons who compete for the attention of their farmer father in Salinas, CA.

Ross wants Lawrence to play Cathy Ames, the cold and cruel mother of the boys and estranged wife of the farmer. The films will tell their stories, leading into the rivalry between their sons”

The story will be separated into two different movies. Production will begin when Jennifer completes filming The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 &2!

The duo are also in the early planning stages of Hannah Kent’s Burial Rights. This new film adaptation would tell the tale of a young woman charged for murder, who is isolated to a farm to await execution.

So many great things are coming for Jen! Can’t wait to see the final products!
