Jennifer Lawrence is all set to star in the upcoming murder mystery film The Wives, which has been picked up by Apple Original Films. The film’s theme is said to have been inspired by the reality TV show Real Housewives. The whodunnit drama will see Lawrence as a part of the Housewives clan, being intoxicated, drunk in the day, and a suspect in a murder.
Apart from playing the lead, Lawrence will also be producing the film alongside Justin Ciarocchi, Jeremy O. Harris, and Josh Godfrey. Apple Studios acquired the rights to the movie in a “very competitive situation.” The movie is still in its developmental stages.
