Jennifer Lawrence to play Fidel Castro's lover in new movie
Quote:
The actress, who received her fourth Oscar nomination last week, is attached to portray Marita Lorenz in Marita, a hot pitch from Eric Warren Singer, co-writer of American Hustle.
Sony Pictures, moving aggressively, picked up the project from the Oscar-nominated scribe in a competitive situation. Matt Tolmach will produce the romantic spy drama with Lawrence and Scott Mednick. Andre Rouleau is also producing.
Marita centers on Lorenz and how she met and an affair with Cuban leader Fidel Castro in 1959 when she was 19 years old. After becoming pregnant and having an abortion, Lorenz left Cuba and joined anti-communists in the U.S., where she was recruited by the CIA for an assassination mission. In 1960, she returned to Cuba to carry out the mission but, according to lore, yielded to love.
She still has Aronofsky, Spielberg, Cameron films and now this. Her body of work is becoming impressive truly the legend leveling Katherine Hepburn and Meryl Streep.
Jennifer Lawrence is most likely to have the most Oscar wins for Best Actress especially with her rate shes going.

What Cameron movie?
I'm so here for this. It'll grant her a 6th Oscar nomination and possibly a 2nd/3rd win after Passengers
