Jennifer Lawrence Goes to The Ends of the Earth

The Weinstein Company has just announced that they will finance and distribute The Ends of the Earth, with The Hunger Games' Jennifer Lawrence in negotiations to star as the film's female lead.

Based on true events, the story centers on a powerful oil tycoon, Ernie Marland, who loses everything after engaging in a controversial love affair with his adopted daughter Lydie (Lawrence). Chris Terrio (Argo) wrote the screenplay. A director has yet to be chosen.

"I'm not sure that anything resonates more with an audience than a true story," said Harvey Weinstein.
"Jennifer Lawrence shows the skill of a seasoned veteran in everything she does, and we’re thrilled to work with her again."

Jennifer Lawrence's next two projects are sequels to The Hunger Games and X-Men: First Class, respectively.
