Jennifer Lawrence set to direct 'Project Delirium'

Jennifer Lawrence will be making the move from the front of the camera to the director's chair. Lawrence is set to make her directorial debut with 'Project Delirium.'

Lawrence opened up about her passion to direct and how this project came about during her Entertainment Weekly interview in which she was named 2015 Entertainer of the Year. "It's based on this article about mental warfare in the '60s, like an acid experiment gone terribly wrong. It's funny, I've wanted to direct since I was 16 and always thought I should start making steps towards that. If I had tried to do it earlier, I wouldn't have been ready. Now I actually feel ready," said Lawrence.

'The Hunger Games' star has been expanding her resume, including writing a project with Amy Schumer. "I'd like to write some stuff that I'm not acting in, too. I want to get back to acting in small, dark stuff. I want to get back into Indies. I'd also like to direct a comedy. I have wanted to direct as long as I've wanted to act. I just don't talk about it because I'd rather just do it."

The Oscar winning actress opened up about her movie with Schumer and explained that the two are moving away from characters that they have played before. Schumer will be playing a flight attendant that really has her life together, until she meets Lawrence's character who is a complete mess.

It is unknown when this film could be moving into production, Lawrence is currently completing a worldwide press tour for 'Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2' and has been working on 'X-Men: Apocalypse and Passengers.'
