Jennifer Lawrence Teams with Ron Howard on Zelda Fitzgerald Biopic
Jennifer Lawrence has landed a new role. The star is teaming up with Ron Howard on his new film, Zelda.
The film would be a biopic dedicated to Zelda Fitzgerald. “Inspired by Nancy Milford’s bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-finalist biography Zelda, the screenplay comes from Emma Frost (The White Queen), which centers on the brilliant and tormented woman who was married to F. Scott Fitzgerald. Zelda was her husband’s greatest muse, but as a talented novelist herself, she famously struggled to define herself through her own works before falling to her obsessive nature and descending into madness.
Zelda was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1930 and spent the rest of her days in and out of the sanitarium, always in a creative tango with her husband, until she died in the Highland Hospital fire of 1943.”
This is going to be such a fun role for Jennifer!
