'Silver Linings Playbook'

[WyldeMan45]

Hmmm, not really sure what to make of this. Outside of the Fighter when has anybody's career ever been helped by appearing in a Wahlberg movie? Well I trust she won't make a bad movie, and apparently its a very hot script, so I gotta go on blind love and devotion on this one.

I'm told that Jennifer Lawrence is in pole position for the role in The Silver Linings Playbook, the drama that David O Russell will direct with Mark Wahlberg starring. This was a coveted role that many young actresses wanted.

Among those actresses mentioned as being in the mix have been Rachel McAdams, Blake Lively, Anne Hathaway and Andrea Riseborough (Madonna's W.E.). If things go the way I'm hearing, Lawrence would shoot the film after she completes the role of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games, which Gary Ross is directing for Lionsgate. Production on Silver Linings will begin in the fall. Based on Matthew Quick's novel, the film revolves around a former high school teacher who was institutionalized for depression and is then released into the care of his mother. He tries to win back his ex-wife but becomes involved with an eccentric neighbor with problems of her own. That is the coveted role.
