Coming off the massive critical success of “Killers of The Flower Moon,” Martin Scorsese is reexamining his next potential options. While it briefly seemed like Scorsese’s next movie would be an adaptation of the high seas pic “The Wager” with current muse Leonardo DiCaprio (“The Wolf of Wall Street”) attached to star, a long-developing project from years ago seems to have circled back to his main interest.

Following her Palme d’Or winning legal drama, “Anatomy Of A Fall,” French filmmaker Justine Triet quickly went from admired writer/director to much-coveted Academy Award nominee. ‘Anatomy’ was only her second feature-length film in competition at Cannes, following 2019’s “Sibyl,” but it launched her into the stratosphere afterward, earning five Oscar nominations this year, including Best Picture and Best Director (Triet also set a record this year, becoming the first female French filmmaker to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay).

Just recently, we shared the news that Lynne Ramsay, who hasn’t released feature film since 2017’s “You Were Never Really Here,” has wrapped up production on a new film, “Polaris,” with star Joaquin Phoenix. That’s enough to get excited, as we rarely get new Ramsay films. However, the filmmaker is also teasing more projects coming down the pipeline, including another star-studded affair as Jennifer Lawrence is teaming up with the filmmaker for the upcoming film, “Die, My Love.” And though, the subject matter and title of the film would lead you to believe it’s a drama, the filmmaker thinks it’s actually a hilarious comedy.

We often see actors talk about roles they almost had but for whatever reason, it didn’t work out. Recently, Jon Hamm talked about “Gone Girl,” for example. But there are some situations where you really can’t imagine anyone else in the role. This is the case for Kristen Stewart as Bella in the “Twilight” films. No, that isn’t to say she turns in Oscar-worthy performances in that franchise, but she clearly was the right actress for the job.

Jennifer Lawrence is clearly a fan of raunchy R-rated comedies. The type of comedies that don’t get big studio releases in theaters. Hell, there have been plenty of times she’s talked openly about her love of Adam McKay and Will Ferrell’s early comedies. So, it’s not a shock that her first true comedy, “No Hard Feelings,” has a similar tone (and rating) as those 2000s-era hits.

Brian Cox has been quite candid this year about how he feels about method actors, from his “Succession” co-star Matthew Strong to Daniel Day-Lewis. It turns out he’s not the only actor that looks askance at the acting style. THR reports that Jennifer Lawrence says she’d be “nervous” to work across from someone using the technique because them being in character all the time would weird her out.

Jennifer Lawrence is at the place in her career where she can do, basically, whatever project she wants. Whether it’s an indie drama that she produces, such as “Causeway,” or a raunch R-rated comedy like “No Hard Feelings,” Lawrence is really able to flex whatever acting muscles she wants. And apparently, that’s not limited to the world of film.

After her return to the world of character-driven indie cinema last year with the drama “Causeway,” which she also produced, it seemed Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence had found her way back to the kind of grounded cinema on which she cut her teeth. Yet her latest film as star-producer, “No Hard Feelings,” directed by Gene Stupnitsky (“Good Boys, “Bad Teacher”), is about as hard a pivot as is cinematically possible.

There’s no doubt that the success of “The Hunger Games” franchise led to the meteoric rise of Jennifer Lawrence’s career years ago. Sure, she was nominated for all sorts of awards for “Winter’s Bone,” but it wasn’t until she took on the role of Katniss in “The Hunger Games” that her career was firmly cemented in A-list territory. Typically, as we’ve seen with folks like Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, the idea of returning to a franchise that made them huge seems ridiculous.

Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence (“Causeway“) looks to continue a run of comedic roles after Adam McKay‘s cheeky environmental apocalypse satire “Don’t Look Up” opposite Leonardo DiCaprio for Netflix.

Hugh Jackman owes his success as a Hollywood A-lister to his breakout role as Wolverine in Bryan Singer‘s first two “X-Men” films in 2000 and 2003. But while Jackman recognizes the debt he owes those films, he doesn’t think Singer’s on-set behavior would fly in moviemaking today. IndieWire reports (via an interview with The Guardian) that Jackman also didn’t know how to stand up to Singer at the time.

Jennifer Lawrence didn’t hold back in a recent roundtable discussion for The Hollywood Reporter. Lawrence decided to put male directors on blast in a conversation that spanned topics like the depiction of female trauma onscreen, women directors, and taking ownership of one’s career choices. In her experience, they’re not as calm on set as the female she’s worked with, like “Causeway” director Lila Neugebauer. And the most emotional?

Now that we’ve started our process of looking back at the Best Films of 2022, it’s time to dig deeper into one facet that can make them so impactful—the mesmerizing work of their actors. Of course, every great film year leads to a surplus of great performances, and our favorites from 2022 are picked from quiet Sundance fare, auteur-driven blockbusters, future Oscar nominees, and much more. As with every year, not everything could fit on this list; and fitting to such a rewarding and challenging year of film, in particular, some of these picks will undoubtedly surprise you (or hopefully inspire you to check out what you haven’t seen).

To keep things interesting, and because it truly was hard to choose these performances, we also opted for some double picks, honoring two performances from the same movie that we find inextricable from the film’s quality.

When Lila Neugebauer was first handed the original script for “Causeway,” the acclaimed New York theater director responded instantly to its intimate, psychological portrait of a military veteran struggling to readjust to life in New Orleans after returning home from Afghanistan with a traumatic brain injury. 

“It was a very personal work, and that script was characterized by a deeply felt lyricism and patience,” says Neugebauer, of the story that would become her feature debut.

After its world premiere at TIFF in September, critics praised “Causeway” as a momentous return for actress Jennifer Lawrence. But did Lawrence ever really leave the limelight? Sure, she took a year or so off from acting after her engagement, but that lined up with when COVID-19 effectively shut down the movie business. So, not counting 2020, she’s starred in a film a year since 2017, including last year’s “Don’t Look Up.”

But maybe the buzz about “Causeway” has to do with how good Lawrence’s performance is, reminiscent of the actress’ early turns in “Winter’s Bone” and “The Silver Linings Playbook.” In other words, the upcoming Apple TV+ feature film isn’t “Passengers” or “X-Men: Apocalypse” and showcases Lawrence at the height of her talents. 

In the film, Lawrence stars as Lynsey, a military engineer who returns home from Afghanistan with a debilitating brain injury she sustained after an IED explosion.

As “Causeway” hits Apple TV+ tomorrow, Jennifer Lawrence has made the press rounds to promote the film that many call her Hollywood comeback. Granted, that’s just a narrative to help with the film’s release. Lawrence never really left the limelight but didn’t act in things for about a year after getting engaged to her husband, Cooke Maroney. But Lawrence’s press tour for “Causeway” gave the actress a chance to talk about her career and some movies she regretted making, like the 2016 space drama “Passengers” with Chris Pratt.

Jennifer Lawrence is back. After stepping away for a while and seemingly taking a breath as her career went supernova, the actress has now returned with a renewed sense of purpose and intention. She’s ready to take risks with her film work and not saddle herself with below-par superhero films and franchise fare. So, now she’s trying to partner up with auteur voices such as Lynne Ramsay, and we couldn’t be more excited.

It’s not uncommon for a major news event to spawn multiple TV and film projects. Often, these are welcomed because it’s always interesting to watch different filmmakers and writers take a stab at a major news event. But sometimes, there is one definitive version that renders the rest irrelevant. And in the mind of Jennifer Lawrence, watching Amanda Seyfriend nail the role of Elizabeth Holmes in “The Dropout” made her second guess starring in the upcoming film, “Bad Blood.”

After years of being one of the most in-demand actresses on the planet, Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence got married, had a child, and took a long break from acting that lasted nearly two years. While she already appeared in Adam McKay’s “Don’t Look Back,” last year, that was a supporting role that she didn’t do a full-court press for. Now, it seems like she’s fully integrating herself into traditional press and publicity appearances this year thanks to her lead performance in the upcoming Apple TV+ drama, “Causeway,” where she stars as an ex-soldier grappling with PTSD and a brain injury (read our review).

It’s been nearly three years since the Jennifer Lawrence-starring drama “Causeway” shot, the pandemic didn’t help, but now, the Apple TV+ film is finally coming out and the first trailer has arrived.

Directed by Lila Neugebauer, Oscar-winning Lawrence plays Lynsey, a military engineer who has returned to the States from Afghanistan with a debilitating brain injury after an IED explosion. Brian Tyree Henry co-stars as a fellow soldier who becomes a friend as they grapple with their PTSD together.
