- SERENA
 |
| Jennifer Lawerence |
Vulture is reporting that Bradley Cooper ("The
Hangover" films) and Jennifer Lawrence (upcoming The Hunger Games) will
reteam for Serena, based on Ron Rash's 2008 novel. Cooper and Lawrence just
filmed David O. Russell's The Silver Linings Playbook together.
Rash's book is described as follows:
“The year is 1929, and newlyweds George and Serena Pemberton
travel from Boston to the North Carolina mountains where they plan to create a
timber empire. Although George has already lived in the camp long enough to
father an illegitimate child, Serena is new to the mountains—but she soon shows
herself to be the equal of any man, overseeing crews, hunting rattle-snakes,
even saving her husband's life in the wilderness. Together this lord and lady
of the woodlands ruthlessly kill or vanquish all who fall out of favor. Yet
when Serena learns that she will never bear a child, she sets out to murder the
son George fathered without her. Mother and child begin a struggle for their
lives, and when Serena suspects George is protecting his illegitimate family,
the Pembertons' intense, passionate marriage starts to unravel as the story
moves toward its shocking reckoning.”
Susanne Bier will be directing, with filming beginning soon.
