Jennifer Lawrence to Star in New Film

Jennifer Lawrence has landed a new role! The actress has joined the film based on Pulitzer Prize reporter Teresa Carpenter’s non fiction crime story Mob Girl, which will be directed by Paolo Sorrentino.

The film i based on the life of the mob wife turned police informant Arlyne Brickman, who will be placed by Jennifer. The film follows Brickman who grows up among racketeers on the Lower East Side of New York City where she’s drawn to the glamorous and flashy lifestyle of New York mobsters. Soon after, she begins dating “wiseguys” and running errands for them, before getting in on the action herself — eventually becoming a police informant and a major witness in the government’s case against the Colombo crime family.

Sounds like a great role for Jennifer!
