00:04Jennifer Lawrence has lined up her next big movie. The Oscar-winning actress will star in and produce
00:09the true-life mafia story Mob Girl. Lawrence and the Young Pope director Paolo Sorrentino have teamed
00:14up to adapt the book by Teresa Carpenter. Mob Girl centers on Arlene Brickman, a woman who grew up
00:19among racketeers and mobsters on the Lower East Side of New York City. From dating the wise guy
00:23to then running errands for them, she became a mob girlfriend who then wanted a piece of the action
00:28herself. She eventually became a police informant and major witness in the government's case
00:32against the Columbo crime family. The movie marks the first project under the recently announced
00:36first-look film deal between Lawrence and Justine Polsky's production company Excellent Cadaver
00:41and Make Ready. Make Ready content studio founder Brad Weston said,
00:45Seeing the story from a woman's point of view is a fresh and exciting approach to telling
00:48a classic mob story. Currently, Lawrence is shooting an untitled soldier drama for A24.
