Jennifer Lawrence to Star in Apple Rom-Com One Month Mark

Jennifer Lawrence is attached to star in and produce One Month Mark, a romantic comedy being developed by Apple Original Films and Chernin Entertainment. Gene Stupnitsky, who directed Lawrence in No Hard Feelings, is in final negotiations to direct, according to reports describing the project; another account says he has boarded it, leaving the precise status of his deal unclear. Sophie Fleur de Bruijn wrote the screenplay. The premise centers on a woman whose relationships have never lasted beyond a month and a man who has never gone a month without being in a relationship. The reports do not identify a co-star or provide a release date. Lawrence is set to produce through her company, Excellent Cadaver. David Ready and Peter Chernin are producing for Chernin Entertainment, while de Bruijn and Brady Fujikawa are executive producers. Apple joined the project after Chernin Entertainment acquired de Bruijn’s spec script in a competitive sale, according to accounts of the deal. The reports describe the project as attracting substantial interest before Chernin secured the script.
