Jennifer Lawrence is ready for her film return after a stint to be with her family after becoming a mother to their first child Cy with husband Cooke Maroney.
After rising to superstardom in the early 2010s with a starring role in the Hunger Games franchise and an Oscar-winning performance in Silver Linings Playbook, Lawrence’s career stumbled slightly. In an interview for The New York Times about Causeway, a feature film that will be released on Apple TV+ screens on November 4, Lawrence recalled how her good friend Adele tried to talk her out of the film Considered by many to be the low point of his career: Passengers, the 2016 sci-fi drama he starred in Chris Pratt.
“Adele told me not to do it!” Lawrence told the newspaper. “She said: ‘I feel like space movies are the new vampire movies.'”
“I should have listened to her,” admitted the 32-year-old actress.

Lawrence and Pratt’s film, as travelers on a spaceship waking from hibernation long before their expected arrival, was marketed as a romance between two of Hollywood’s biggest stars at the time, but in the end it was “a ridiculous display of two hours of science.” Fi-Stockholm Syndrome,” as EW reviewer Chris Nashawaty put it. The production didn’t fare much better with the lousy criticism on the Rotten Tomatoes portal.
Months after the release of Passengers, Pratt and producer Neal Moritz continued to defend it, with Pratt saying that criticism of the film “really caught off guard‘ and that he thought the final product was ‘very good’.
Lawrence isn’t beating around the bush, though. Discussing the projects that hadn’t made it to fans or critics, he said, “I was like, who said this was a good movie?” During this period of her career, she said, she started feeling “more like a celebrity than an actress, cut off from my creativity, my imagination”. If only I had listened to Adele!”
Directed by Lila Neugebauer and starring Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry. CAUSEWAY – In theaters and streaming on Apple TV November 4th.
In a September interview for Vogue, Lawrence criticized the pay gap in Hollywood: “I get paid less to have a vagina.” In addition, the actress revealed that she suffered two miscarriages before giving birth to her son in February this year and that she is fighting with her family to be Republicans.
The Oscar winner said she became pregnant at the age of 20 and “miscarried alone in Montreal”. While filming Adam McKay’s Netflix comedy Don’t Look Up, she became pregnant again and suffered a second miscarriage.
Lawrence told the publication about the miscarriages she suffered while working for the Roe v. Wade, the landmark abortion ruling that brought down the US Supreme Court.
The actress expressed her outrage that young women across the country now have limited opportunities. “I had a great pregnancy. But every second of my life was different. And sometimes I thought: What if they forced me to do this?

Lawrence processed her family drama in therapy.
“I’ve worked very hard over the last five years to forgive my father and my family and try to understand: you are different.“, he explained. “I’ve been trying to get over it and I really can’t. I can’t deal with people who aren’t political anymore. Live in the United States. Political you have to be. It’s too awful. The Politics kills people.”
“It’s too personal for a woman’s life to see white men discussing the uterus when they can’t find a clitoris,” she said.
Lawrence added: “I don’t want to bring my family down, but I know a lot of people are in a similar situation with their families. How can you raise a daughter from birth and think she doesn’t deserve equality? As?”.

Inequality is something Lawrence has had to contend with in Hollywood, where she was often paid less than her male co-stars.
The actress made way less than her male co-stars on American Hustle, while she made $5 million less than Leonardo DiCaprio on Don’t Look Up in 2021.
Lawrence believes all actors are often overpaid, but that doesn’t make the pay gap any less frustrating. “It doesn’t matter how much you do. Aren’t they paying me as much as this guy for my vagina?
She’s not a fanatic, nor does she fully understand the appeal of social media. “No one should look for me there, because I will never be there. I’m not good with technology and phones. I barely understand how email works, so the idea of having social networks doesn’t cross my mind,” he said at the time. But last year she changed her mind and decided to enter this unfamiliar space for her. However, when she decides to appear on her Twitter profile, it is not to promote herself, but for reasons such as the complaint the murder of Breonna Taylor, who died in March 2020 as a victim of a police attack in Louisville without the agents being arrested.

Filming and producing Causeway, the story of a war veteran living with PTSD while recovering from a brain injury, was a change for Lawrence. She was drawn to the improvised pacing of the narrative, adding: “I like a fast-paced Marvel movie. But I miss the slow melody of a character-driven story.”. But the political and personal atmosphere led to it “the hardest shooting” from Lawrence’s life.
“I worked really hard. It was the hardest shoot of my life. It’s been three years,” Lawrence said. “I hope people see it. But if they don’t, we’re all going to die anyway, so who cares.”
