Jennifer Lawrence to Star in Zach Cregger’s The Flood

Jennifer Lawrence will star in The Flood, an original science-fiction film that Zach Cregger will write, direct and produce, Warner Bros. announced. The studio has scheduled the film for a theatrical release on August 11, 2028. Plot details and additional casting have not been disclosed by the studio. The project reunites Cregger with Warner Bros. and its New Line Cinema division, which released his film Weapons. Lawrence will lead the cast, though the identity and details of her character have not been made public. The announcement did not provide further information about the film’s story. Amblin Entertainment is producing The Flood with Roy Lee and Miri Yoon of Vertigo Entertainment. Warner Bros. film executives Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy said the studio was pleased to work with Lawrence and reunite with Cregger, Vertigo and Amblin after Weapons. Cregger also expressed enthusiasm about working with Lawrence and the studio team again. Cregger has described the film as having an unusual narrative structure and said it includes horror scenes, while distinguishing it from a horror movie. Those comments offer a broad indication of its tone but do not establish the plot.
