LOS ANGELES --
Director Darren Aronofsky and his production company Protozoa are in development on his next feature film starring Jennifer Lawrence. The project marks the filmmaker’s return to his indie roots and displays his passions as a writer, director and producer.
Aronofsky is known for breaking actresses out of predictable type-cast roles as we saw with Natalie Portman in Black Swan, Marisa Tomei in The Wrestler, Jennifer Connelly in Requiem for a Dream and most recently Emma Watson in Noah. Both Aronofsky and Lawrence are represented by CAA. Scott Franklin, one of Aronofsky's partners, will be producing the film which is scheduled to begin shooting in the spring of 2016.
Aronofsky is also partnered in production house Chromista which specializes in branded content.

Actors Willem Dafoe, Jonathan Bailey and Peter Dinklage have joined the voice cast of Starburns Industries’ “Lincoln in the Bardo,” based on acclaimed author George Saunders’ New York Times bestseller and 2017 Booker Prize-winner. Saunders adapted the screenplay, with Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Duke Johnson directing. It was announced earlier that Tom Hanks stars as the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, in the live action portion of the film. CAA Media Finance and WME Independent are handling sales at the upcoming TIFF: The Market.
The film employs a unique blend of stop-motion animation and live action to explore one of the most intimate moments of Lincoln’s life, centering on his relationship with his recently deceased eleven-year-old son. Blending history and imagination, the story unfolds through an unforgettable ensemble of characters – living and dead, historical and invented – to explore themes of love, empathy, and the human capacity for connection in the face of unimaginable grief.
Reverend Everly Thomas – the ghost of a minister who died believing he would go to heaven, but, to his dismay, found out otherwise – is voiced by Dafoe. Bailey is voicing Roger Bevins, the ghost of a young gay man who took his own life over a failed love affair and instantly regretted it. Dinklage is voicing Hans Vollman, a ghost obsessed with his dream of being reunited with his much-younger wife.
Four-time Academy Award nominee Dafoe’s credits include animated films “Finding Nemo,” “Fantastic Mr. Fox” and “The Boy and the Heron,” as well as “At Eternity’s Gate,” “The Florida Project,” “Shadow of the Vampire” and seminal Vietnam movie... Read More
