Sony revealed another look at “No Hard Feelings,” which stars Jennifer Lawrence. The Gene Stupnitsky-directed romp stars Lawrence as a down-on-her-luck Uber driver who takes a gig to “date” a socially awkward high schooler to bring the 19-year-old out of his shell before college. It’s an old-school, R-rated star+concept comedy, something that was in short supply even before COVID sent many such titles to streaming platforms.
The footage features the initial meeting between Lawrence and Andrew Barth Feldman. It’s the full sequence heavily featured in the first trailer, whereby Lawrence attempts to “pick up” the kid at the animal shelter where he volunteers. There’s a dog at the shelter who is apparently addicted to cocaine and who barks furiously when the word “cocaine” is uttered.
We get a slew of not-so-subtle entendres to which the kid has no idea how to react. Again, as seen in the trailer, he is whisked away early into her scary-looking van. The kid eventually realizes that he’s not being taken to his house and eventually pepper-sprays our heroine on the presumption that he’s being kidnapped.Even while her biggest movies were franchise flicks like “X-Men: Days of Future Past” or “The Hunger Games,” Jennifer Lawrence may have been a butts-in-seats star.
She was absolutely an added value element in “Silver Linings Playbook” and “American Hustle,” and films with little to sell except her like “Joy” and “Red Sparrow” pulled respectable grosses with $101 million and $159 million. Both films cost too much, at $60 million and $69 million respectively, but there aren’t very many male movie stars who could parlay R-rated, all-by-themselves star vehicles into such global grosses. And “Passengers” did crack $300 million

And while she has brought humor and physical comedy to many of her roles for David O. Russell and others, she also hasn’t exactly gotten the big, broad “Dumb and Dumber” or “Anchorman” experience, to cite some of her favorites (or at least the ones she’s memorized).

"Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" director James Mangold said this week that the fifth installment of the franchise opens with a 25-minute action sequence in which Harrison Ford, 80, plays a 35-year-old version of himself. "I just shot him, and he just pretended that he was 35," Mangold told Total Film magazine of Ford who he called "incredibly gifted and agile." He added, "But the technology involved is a whole other thing." Mangold explained that dots were placed on Ford’s face during the scene that takes place in 1944 and using VFX technology and old Lucasfilm footage of the actor as a younger man, he was de-aged. The new film is set in the space race-era of 1969. "We had hundreds of hours of footage of him in close-ups, in mediums, in wides, in every kind of lighting, night and day," he told the magazine. "I could shoot Harrison on a Monday as, you know, a 79-year-old playing a 35-year-old, and I could see dailies by Wednesday with his head already replaced." The director called the technology "incredible," saying he did not think about it while shooting the sequence.
Jennifer Lawrence learned a fun fact about her forthcoming adult comedy No Hard Feelings while attending 2023 CinemaCon.
Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Jennifer Lawrence brought her comedic chops to Las Vegas. The Oscar-winner attended CinemaCon to promote the raunchy R-rated comedy “No Hard Feelings,” which played to huge laughs at the annual movie theater trade show that’s currently unfolding at Caesars Palace. Director Gene Stupnitsky praised Lawrence as “a true comedy natural” in her first R-rated comedic role. He says the film is about two helicopter parents who hire a woman to “date” their introverted 19-year-old son so he doesn’t leave for college as a virgin. “And this is based on your life, right?” Lawrence jabbed at Stupnitsky, who retorted, “No, it’s actually based off a Craigslist ad.”
