Jennifer Lawrence reteams with No Hard Feelings director for new rom-com
Gene Stupnitsky is in final negotiations to direct One Month Mark .
Jennifer Lawrence is set to rejoin filmmaker Gene Stupnitsky for her next romantic comedy, One Month Mark. Deadline news reveals that Stupnitsky, known for his work on No Hard Feelings, is in the final stages of negotiations to direct the movie for Apple Original Films and Chernin Entertainment. The film is described as a modern romantic comedy, with Lawrence both starring and producing through her production company, Excellent Cadaver.
The screenplay for One Month Mark is penned by Sophie Fleur de Bruijn. The storyline, as reported by Deadline, involves a 32-year-old woman, Maddie, who struggles with being in her first long-term relationship and a 19-year-old man who lacks confidence before attending Princeton University. Lawrence's participation in the project was first reported in June, and studios and producers have shown keen interest in the film.
Stupnitsky has a solid track record in comedy, having worked as a writer, director, and executive producer on NBC's The Office and co-created the scripts for Bad Teacher and Good Boys. Although No Hard Feelings didn't perform well at the box office, it gained traction on streaming platforms and marked a shift from Lawrence's usual dramatic roles.
