Jennifer Lawrence Boards Zach Cregger’s Original Sci-Fi New Line Pic ‘The Flood’

Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence is set to star in Zach Cregger's upcoming sci-fi thriller, "The Flood," according to fresh reports. The action-packed movie is scheduled to release under Warner Bros. on August 11, 2028. New Line Cinema and Amblin Entertainment are producing the film, with Roy Lee and Miri Yoon of Vertigo Entertainment also involved.

2025's successful "Weapons" by Cregger, which grossed $270 million globally, is a hint of what audiences can expect from Lawrence's role. "Mike, Pam and the whole Warner Bros./New Line team were an absolute dream to collaborate with on 'Weapons', and I couldn’t be happier to dive in with them again," Cregger expressed. Warner Bros. film chiefs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy echoed similar sentiments, hailing Lawrence as a "gifted and compelling actor" and eager to share her in "The Flood".

The film's plot remains under wraps, with production companies New Line Cinema, Amblin Entertainment, and Vertigo Entertainment keeping the storyline a secret. Lawrence, represented by top talent agencies LBI Entertainment and Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren, Richman, Rush, Kaller & Gellman, is poised to bring her star power to this ambitious project.
