LOS ANGELES, Nov 26 — While “The Hunger Games” franchise may have reached its end, things are starting to get even better for Jennifer Lawrence as she’s set to make her directorial debut.
J.Law revealed that she’s wanted to sit on the director’s chair for a while and it looks like she’s finally taking the plunge.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Lawrence shared: “I have wanted to direct as long as I’ve wanted to act. I just don’t talk about it because I’d rather just do it.
“I’ve signed on to direct something called Project Delirium — it’s based on this article about mental warfare in the ‘60s, like an acid experiment gone terribly wrong. It’s funny, I’ve wanted to direct since I was 16 and always thought I should start making steps towards that. If I had tried to do it earlier, I wouldn’t have been ready. Now I actually feel ready.
Lawrence, who was recently named Entertainer of the Year by the magazine, finds working behind the camera just as intriguing as acting.
She also has plans about a second movie in mind already. “I’d also like to direct a comedy. I have wanted to direct as long as I’ve wanted to act. I just don’t talk about it because I’d rather just do it.”
