Oscar-winning actor Jennifer Lawrence is set to star in and produce Apple Original Films’ upcoming romantic comedy “One Month Mark”.
The film is based on an original spec script by playwright, writer and director Sophie Fleur de Bruijn.
The project sparked a fierce Hollywood bidding war among multiple major studios and top-tier producers before Apple ultimately secured the deal.
The plot follows two people with very different relationship histories: a woman who dumps every partner before the one-month mark, and a man who physically cannot go more than 30 days without a girlfriend.
The project is now on a fast-track, with executives actively hunting for a director to bring the quirky romance to life.
The film will be produced by David Ready and Peter Chernin through Chernin Entertainment, alongside Jennifer Lawrence and her producing partner Justine Ciarrocchi under their Excellent Cadaver banner. De Bruijn will also serve as an executive producer on the project.

“One Month Mark” marks another collaboration between Apple and de Bruijn. The writer previously worked with the streaming giant on “Early Action”, a comedy spec script that Apple acquired last year.
For Lawrence, the project further strengthens her relationship with Apple Original Films. “One Month Mark” becomes the fourth Apple-backed project involving the actor.
Most recently, Lawrence completed work on “What Happens at Night”, director Martin Scorsese's upcoming drama that also stars Leonardo DiCaprio. She previously starred in and produced the 2022 drama “Causeway” for Apple and also served as a producer on the acclaimed 2023 documentary “Bread & Roses”, which explored the lives of women in Afghanistan under Taliban rule.
No release date has been announced for “One Month Mark”, and additional casting details are expected to be revealed at a later stage.
