Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence is ridiculously hot at the moment and can pretty much have any role that she wants. Now she’s planning to team up with Lionsgate once again, signing on to star in an adaptation of The Glass Castle, according to Deadline.
The project is based on the memoir of gossip columnist Jeannette Walls, which was first published in 2005 and stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for over 250 weeks, the longest stretch for any memoir. The book delves into the writer’s childhood with her, ‘dysfunctional but vibrant’ family.
Screenwriter Marti Noxon (Fright Night, I Am Number Four) will write the screenplay. No production schedule is set, but it will likely be quite some time before we see this adaptation. Lawrence is due to shoot Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire later this year, and will then immediately start shooting the X-Men: First Class Sequel, so Glass Castle won’t be able to get going until next spring at the earliest.
Once Gary Ross officially confirmed that he wouldn’t direct Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire, there’s been a lot of speculation over who would replace him. Lionsgate has been scrambling to find a replacement so that the movie can keep with its plan to shoot this autumn (something that’s vital as Catching Fire needs to wrap by December so Jennifer Lawrence can move on to X-Men: First Class 2).
A few days ago a report emerged saying that tough negotiations were going on between Lionsgate and director Gary Ross over the Hunger Games sequel, Catching Fire. Apparently it had been tricky coming to terms for the first movie and the follow-up was proving just as awkward.
