Actress Jennifer Lawrence is to get behind the camera and produce her first film.
The actress was speaking to the Associated Press where she revealed that she was producing the memoir
The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls.
The star revealed that it was her mom who encouraged her to take on the producer role.
"My mother is like the lucky charm with these kinds of things” she said.
"She read
Winter's Bone and
Hunger Games and when I read
The Glass Castle I thought it was amazing, so we found Gil Netter, the producer who had the rights, and he and I started talking and now we are developing. We have a director and a writer and it's getting going."
"I don't know if I will be any good, but I'm trying it” Lawrence added.
"So far I am not sure if I am because I am very instinctual, but not very verbal. But producing is something that I have really wanted to do."
The Glass Castle documents Walls’ dysfunctional upbringing as she was raised by an alcoholic father and an unconventional artist mother.
The Lionsgate film is to be directed by Destin Cretton but no other production details have been released yet.
