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.

Hollywood has never quite gotten to grips with the African American audience, so that every time a film with a largely black cast does well, it’s treated as a massive surprise. That’s certainly the case with Think Like A Man, which was barely on most people’s radar but scored a huge $33 million opening to top the box office chart.
Although it seems there’s endless talk about making a film about Joni Mitchell, there’s never been a really good biopic about the singer. However it appears Taylor Swift is hoping to change that, as 
Jaden Smith had a big hit with The Karate Kid and after that Hollywood was falling over itself to offer him roles. However he’s taken his time to make sure he goes for exactly the right part, so that his first film following Karate Kid doesn’t arrive until next year, when he teams up with father Will for After Earth.
