It’s a whodunit with a whole lot of drama. Jennifer Lawrence will get to feud, day-drink and access oodles of disposable income, at least until a body turns up, in “The Wives,” a murder mystery that is in the vein of “The Real Housewives.”
Apple Original Films acquired the project in what it is describing as a “highly competitive situation.” Lawrence will produce the film alongsideJustine Ciarrocchi forher company, Excellent Cadaver. Tony and Independent Spirit Award nominee Jeremy O. Harris (“Zola,”“Slave Play”) and Josh Godfrey will also produce the picture under theirbb2banner. It is currently in development, so no word on the final plot or when it might shoot.
