Jennifer Lawrence to Play Fidel Castro's Lover in MARITA

Jennifer Lawrence has lined up a new movie project titled Marita in which she is set to portray Fidel Castro’s lover, Marita Lorenz.

After David O Russell’s Joy, Sony Pictures' biographical spy drama is the second production where the Golden Globe winner plays a real-life personality. It will have Matt Tolmach and Andre Rouleau as producers and will be scripted by Eric Warren Singer who, as you may remember, was co-writer of American Hustle.

Marita will go back to 1959 to trace the life of Lorenz. The movie will depict how she started an affair with one of the most famous revolutionaries in the world, the Cuban leader Fidel Castro, and how she became his assassin later on.
