The Oscar winner has been tapped to star as the lead in the adaptation Teresa Carpenter 1992 true-crime novel. 

The book spans across the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s following Arlyne Brickman, mob wife turned police informant. According to Variety, which was first to report the news, “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.”

“Seeing this story from a woman’s point of view is a fresh and exciting approach to telling a classic mob story,” says Makeready Founder and CEO, Brad Weston. “We could not imagine a more perfect team of stellar filmmakers, with Jennifer starring in a tour de force role and Paolo at the helm, to bring Arlyne’s strength and unique perspective to life on screen.”

Sorrentino will direct from a script adapted by Angelina Burnett. Lawrence is also set to produce the film.

The frequent collaborators got opened up about working together on their three films —Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle, and Joy, which brought it an impressive $588.7M at the global box office.

Russell revealed that their partnership almost didn’t happen as Lawrence was the last person to be cast in both Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle. The director had his doubts working with an actress so young and inexperienced.

“For Silver Linings,” he said, “we thought you were too young and there were other actresses in the front of the line who were close to getting the role.”

But getting to work with Russell was a key experience for Lawrence who was at the beginning of her acting career. “You shaped me,” she told the director. 

“I would put it this way: She showed up and she was, like, a raw talent that had no neuroses and no self-consciousness,” Russell said. “She was completely fearless. She would come into the scene like a weather system and leave me and Bob [De Niro] and Bradley [Cooper] and Jacki Weaver and Chris Tucker just kind of like, wow.”

The story with American Hustle is completely different because by then Russell knew he wanted to work with Lawrence but she was “technically not available.”

“I called her up on her vacation and I said, ‘I feel like I would be remiss as your friend if I did not give you one last chance to say no to this role,” he recalled. “You said, ‘will I get to have big hair and long nails and be crazy?’ And I said yes, and you said, ‘Okay, I’ll do it.’”

The reason is that the studio will be moving forward Bohemian Rhapsody, the Freddie Mercury biopic starring Rami Malek, best known for his role in Mr Robot. The biopic was previously scheduled for December 25th but will now debut on November 2nd.

Dexter Fletcher is directing Bohemian Rhapsody after Bryan Singer was fired from the show for three days of repeated absences which halted production. This firing isn’t the only setback that the movie has faced. Sacha Baron Cohen quit the project over disputes with Bryan May and Roger Taylor from Queen, hence why Malek took over.

The two Marvel spin-offs were actually originally scheduled to launch this year in April and November. The New Mutants has now been pushed all the way back to August 2nd 2019. The film is being directed by Josh Boone and stars a whole new set of young mutants.

Dark Phoenix has also been pushed back to 2019, but earlier in the year on Valentines Day. The movie will revolve around Jean Grey and Phoenix and will star James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence among other popular names from the X-Men franchise.
