Gene Stupnitsky Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

Ethan Shanfeld An Uber driver without a car, Jennifer Lawrence finds herself financially stuck in a new trailer for the R-rated comedy “No Hard Feelings.” That is, until a wealthy couple offers her a Buick Regal if she agrees to “date” their awkward 19-year-old son before he goes off to college. “You won’t even rent your house out, but now you’re gonna rent out your vag?” one of Lawrence’s friends asks upon learning about her arrangement, to which Lawrence responds: “You have a Road Runner tattoo covering your entire back, I don’t think you should tell anybody what to do with their body.” In the trailer, Lawrence frantically circles a high school party in search of Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman), barging into bedrooms only to find teenagers sitting on their phones. “Doesn’t anyone fuck anymore?” she asks, stupefied.

Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence (“Causeway“) looks to continue a run of comedic roles after Adam McKay‘s cheeky environmental apocalypse satire “Don’t Look Up” opposite Leonardo DiCaprio for Netflix. Next in line? “No Hard Feelings,” from director Gene Stupnitsky (“Good Boys“), and Sony Pictures has a new trailer for the awkward sex comedy.

Jennifer Lawrence is sharing just how she reacted to the real ad that inspired her new movie, No Hard Feelings.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Jennifer Lawrence recently told Entertainment Weekly that she “died laughing” when reading the real-life Craiglist ad that inspired her upcoming raunchy R-rated comedy “No Hard Feelings.” Directed by Lawrence’s longtime friend Gene Stupnitsky, the film casts the Oscar-winning actor as a Montauk Uber driver facing bankruptcy who accepts a Craiglist ad to date and seduce an awkward 19-year-old (Andrew Barth Feldman). His helicopter parents don’t want him leaving for college as a virgin. Stupnitsky and Lawrence first let it slip at CinemaCon last month that “No Hard Feelings” was based on a real-life Craiglist ad. The director told EW that it was the film’s producers, Marc Provissiero and Naomi Odenkirk, who sent him the Craiglist ad.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor The jury is still out on whether Amazon Freevee’s mockumentary sitcom “Jury Duty” will be able to break into the Emmys race, but the excitement for the comedy has taken the TV world by storm, and Amazon sees an opening for it. Variety has learned exclusively Amazon plans to submit the eight-episode inaugural season for the Emmy comedy categories, seeking recognition in over a dozen key races including acting, writing and directing. Read: Variety’s Awards Circuit for the latest Emmy predictions in all categories. Created by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, the series follows the inner workings of a jury trial through the eyes of Ronald Gladden, a solar contractor from San Diego, who is unaware that his jury duty summons was not official and everyone on the jury aside from him, is an actor.

Jennifer Lawrence has wanted to do a big comedy for years. She has always been funny and vibrant in her television appearances. 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).

Anna Tingley In the days since the finale of “Jury Duty” on Amazon Freevee, Ronald Gladden’s life has changed in ways he never could have imagined. After responding to a Craigslist ad asking for participants to take part in a documentary about jury duty, the 30-year-old San Diego-based project manager instead found himself as the unknowing star of his very own “Truman Show.” He ended up being the foreman on an absurd, fake trial while a cast of actors orchestrated a string of ludicrous scenes pulled straight out of a sitcom.

Jury Duty, the new courtroom reality series, recently aired its season one finale Amazon Prime Video – but will there be a second season?Created by The Office‘s Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky, the series chronicles the inner workings of an American jury trial through the eyes of juror Ronald Gladden, who doesn’t realise that everyone except him is an actor.Throughout the course of the show, Ronald (who believes he is taking part in an educational documentary about the legal system) puts up with the eccentric behaviour of his fellow jurors, including Sonic The Hedgehog star James Marsden, who plays a comical version of himself.The final episode of season one – which dropped on Amazon Prime Video on April 27 – saw the producers award Ronald $100,000 (£79,560) for proving himself to be a “hero” and genuinely nice guy.A second season has not yet been confirmed, but executive producer Nicholas Hatton has already expressed an interest in continuing the series.He recently told Deadline: “We could do more but it won’t be the exact same format.“Tweaks will need to happen because the process of finding these wonderful real people involves a little bit of subterfuge and hyping up tracks and sort of pretending you’re something that you’re not. So you have to use a slightly different process every time and we have to keep that very, very secret.”He added: “There are many more worlds of jury duty and many more iterations of it and I think it can go in any number of incredible directions.
