Los Angeles, May 13 : Hollywood star Jennifer Lawrence recently shared that she “died laughing” when reading the real-life Craigslist ad that inspired her upcoming raunchy R-rated comedy ‘No Hard Feelings’.
Directed by Lawrence’s longtime friend Gene Stupnitsky, the film casts the Oscar-winning actor as a Montauk Uber driver facing bankruptcy who accepts a Craigslist ad to date and seduce an awkward 19-year-old (Andrew Barth Feldman), reports Variety.
His helicopter parents don’t want him leaving for college as a virgin.Stupnitsky and Lawrence first let it slip at CinemaCon last month that ‘No Hard Feelings’ was based on a real-life Craigslist ad.The director told Entertainment Weekly that it was the film’s producers, Marc Provissiero and Naomi Odenkirk, who sent him the Craigslist ad.
“I read it, and I thought, ‘This is wild.Who is the woman that answers this ad?'” Stupnitsky said, quoted by Variety.”And I thought, ‘Oh, that’ll be a great role for my friend Jennifer Lawrence.'”
“Gene read the Craigslist ad to me, and I died laughing,” Lawrence added.”I thought it was hilarious, but there wasn’t a script or anything.I just thought he had a funny idea.And then a couple years later, he handed me the funniest script I’ve ever read in my life.”
“A theatrical release these days is, uh.It’s a test,” Lawrence also said in the EW interview.”You get tested publicly, and everyone knows if you pass through.But I feel we’re putting our best foot forward.”
