You absolutely read that right: Jennifer Lawrence is starring in a new murder mystery at Apple Studios (and A24) called The Wives and it's reportedly inspired inspired by Real Housewives. Drama, murder, and white wine, anyone? Jennifer Lawrence will produce with her company Excellent Cadaver as well as star in the film, and this is one movie I cannot wait to see. I hope there are some table flips and dinner parties aplenty!
What is The Wives about?
We don't have an official plot synopsis for The Wives yet, but via Variety, it looks like we'll see the cast "feud, day-drink and access oodles of disposable income, at least until a body turns up." If Jennifer Lawrence and A24 are involved, it's sure to be a movie with gritty edge and just enough humor to keep things fun. Nobody does a black comedy like Jennifer Lawrence and I will be TUNED IN!
