Jennifer Lawrence Has Signed on to Play Lead in True-Crime Film MOB GIRL

Jennifer Lawrence is on board to star in and produce the true-crime story of Mob Girl, that is being adapted from the book by the same name by author Teresa Carpenter. The film will tell the true story of Arlyne Brickman, mob wife turned police informant. Variety reports the following synopsis for the film:

The film follows Brickman who grows up among racketeers on the Lower East Side of New York City where she’s drawn to the glamorous and flashy lifestyle of New York mobsters. Soon after, she begins dating “wiseguys” and running errands for them, before getting in on the action herself — eventually becoming a police informant and a major witness in the government’s case against the Colombo crime family.

This sounds like a fascinating story, and although some people are tired of J-Law, I think she is a fantastic actress, and is perfectly suited to pull this role off. I love that we are getting the mob life point of view of a woman who lived it. She sounds like an incredibly brave person. We will let you know as soon as we have more casting and scheduling news.

Does this sound like a film that will interest you?
