Jennifer Lawrence teams up with Gene Stupnitsky for Apple
The rom-com genre just got a fresh injection of raunchy fun, and this time, it’s starring one of Hollywood’s most magnetic talents. Jennifer Lawrence is back in the director’s chair, teaming up with Gene Stupnitsky for the upcoming feature, One Month Mark.
The project, developed by Apple Original Films and Chernin Entertainment, promises the kind of witty, high-stakes relationship comedy audiences crave. The premise itself is a delightful punchline: She has never made it past a month in a relationship. He has never gone longer than a month without one.
The buzz around the film is fueled by the dynamic duo behind it. Lawrence and Stupnitsky have a history, having successfully teamed up on the hit No Hard Feelings, and they are eager to channel that chemistry back onto the screen for this new venture.
The development process for One Month Mark was anything but smooth. The script, described as “unlike anything the town had seen for a comedy in years,” sparked a serious bidding war. Over forty producers, including major studios and independent banners, were vying for the rights, demonstrating the project’s immediate commercial appeal.
Ultimately, the deal went to the creative team, with Lawrence and Stupnitsky securing the project. With Lawrence taking the lead and producing through her Excellent Cadaver studio, the film is poised to be a compelling blend of comedic timing and star power.
This project further cements Jennifer Lawrence’s status as a versatile leading star. She continues to master the art of balancing commercial crowd-pleasers with prestige arthouse fare, evidenced by her impressive and diverse filmography. Recently, she wrapped production on Martin Scorsese’s mystery thriller What Happens at Night and is set to star in Lynne Ramsay’s dark psychodrama Die My Love opposite Robert Pattinson. Add to that her involvement in A24’s murder mystery The Wives and Zach Cregger’s sci-fi feature The Flood, and Lawrence proves she is at the center of Hollywood’s most exciting cinematic currents.
