Jennifer Lawrence Starring in ‘Real Housewives’-Inspired Murder Mystery for Apple Original Films and A24, Jeremy O. Harris Producing
variety.comBrent Lang Executive Editor It’s a whodunit with a whole lot of drama. Jennifer Lawrence will get to feud, day-drink and access oodles of disposable income, at least until a body turns up, in “The Wives,” a murder mystery that is in the vein of “The Real Housewives.” Apple Original Films acquired the project in what it is describing as a “highly competitive situation.” Lawrence will produce the film alongside Justine Ciarrocchi for her company, Excellent Cadaver.
Tony and Independent Spirit Award nominee Jeremy O. Harris (“Zola,” “Slave Play”) and Josh Godfrey will also produce the picture under their bb2 banner.
It is currently in development, so no word on the final plot or when it might shoot. “The Wives” will be written by Michael Breslin and Patrick Foley, the writers of the play “Circle Jerk,” which was a Pulitzer Prize finalist.
The film is co-produced by Apple Studios and A24, which previously worked together on “Causeway,” a 2022 drama that starred Lawrence.
