Jennifer Lawrence Has Joined Zach Cregger’s Mysterious Sci-Fi Movie
Resident Evil is a smash hit, and Zach Cregger, who also made Barbarian and Weapons, looks to continue his streak—this time with an original film said to skew more sci-fi than his usual horror fare. It’s called The Flood, and a big piece of the puzzle just fell into place: Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence will star. Deadline reports that Lawrence has come aboard the film, which has a release date of August 11, 2028.
