Apple Original Films has chosen "One Month Mark," a romantic comedy, to add to its lineup. The film stars and produces Jennifer Lawrence. The script was written by Sophie Fleur de Bruijn, who is also a playwright, writer, and director. The story was in a race to be picked up by producers and studios.
David Ready and Peter Chernin from Chernin Entertainment, known for the horror movie Backrooms, are producing the film along with Jennifer Lawrence.
Lawrence is producing through her company, Excellent Cadaver, and is working with her producing partner, Justine Ciarrocchi. Sophie Fleur de Bruijn will also be an executive producer.
The basic story is: "She has never lasted past a month in a relationship.
He has never gone longer than a month without one."
The project does not yet have a director, but they are looking for one.
This is Sophie Fleur de Bruijn's second project with Apple, following "Early Action," a comedy that Apple bought last year. She studied comedy at iO and The Upright Citizens Brigade and graduated from the Second City Conservatory. On her website, she says she loves making high-energy, emotionally grounded comedies that focus on strong, independent women and girls.
"One Month Mark" is the fourth project with Jennifer Lawrence for Apple.
She recently finished filming "What Happens at Night," a drama directed by Martin Scorsese that also stars Leonardo DiCaprio. She starred and produced the 2022 drama "Causeway" for Apple and was a producer on the Peabody Award-winning Apple Original documentary "Bread & Roses," which told the story of women in Afghanistan under the Taliban.
Brady Fujikawa, executive vice president of Chernin Entertainment, will be an executive producer and oversee the project.
Chernin has had a successful year, releasing Backrooms, Charlize Theron's Netflix movie Apex, and the TV adaptation of Man on Fire.
