Jennifer Lawrence Reflects On Career & A Return To Indie Roots, But Maybe Not Franchises – London Film Festival

“Franchises are so fun,” said Jennifer Lawrence today at the BFI London Film Festival. The 32-year-old X-Men and Hunger Games alum then drew a big laugh, interjecting, “I could never do one now cause I’m just too old and brittle.”

Lawrence is in fact making a return to her indie origins with Causeway, a drama she stars in and produced which is screening as part of the LFF following its world premiere in Toronto last month. A PTSD story “told completely in the present,” it follows an Afghanistan war vet suffering from body and brain injuries. This is the first project from Lawrence’s banner Excellent Cadaver and is a sort of harkening back to the early years when she broke out in 2010’s Winter’s Bone. During a walk through her career today, Lawrence told LFF attendees it’s been “serendipitous to have the first film of my production company be an independent, that’s where I got my roots and that’s what I can attribute my entire career to.” – Source
