Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence is set to lead the romantic comedy 'One Month Mark', produced by Apple Studios and Chernin Entertainment. The project, based on a spec script by writer-director-performer Sophie Fleur de Bruijn, adds to Lawrence's growing slate of Apple Original Films.
What the Film Is About
The logline for 'One Month Mark' sets up a sharp romantic contrast: 'She has never made it past a month in a relationship. He has never gone longer than a month without one.' The premise, crafted by de Bruijn, leans into classic rom-com territory with a structured irony at its core.
Production and Key Players
Chernin Entertainment's David Ready, Brady Fujikawa, and Peter Chernin are attached as producers. Lawrence and her producing partner Justine Ciarrocchi will also produce under their banner Excellent Cadaver. De Bruijn will serve as executive producer on the project, according to reports.
Lawrence's Apple Original Film Slate
This marks Lawrence's fourth Apple Original Film. Her most recent Apple project is 'What Happens at Night', directed by Martin Scorsese and co-starring Leonardo DiCaprio, which reportedly just wrapped filming. She previously starred in and produced 'Causeway', and served as producer on the Peabody Award-winning documentary 'Bread & Roses'.
De Bruijn's Second Apple Collaboration
'One Month Mark' also marks de Bruijn's second project with Apple, following 'Early Action' — her debut feature, for which Apple Original Films acquired rights last year. That film is currently in development, with Kevin Walsh and The Walsh Company set to produce under their first-look deal with Apple.
Lawrence on Filming Intimate Scenes
Separately, Lawrence has spoken candidly about her approach to on-screen intimacy. During an appearance at 92NY, she said filming such scenes is 'actually easier' with co-stars she does not know personally. 'In Hunger Games, me and Josh Hutcherson would have to kiss and that's like… Imagine it,' she said, adding, 'You know, it's weirder and so yeah, doing it with a stranger is preferable.'
With 'One Month Mark' in development and 'What Happens at Night' in post-production, Lawrence's partnership with Apple appears to be deepening into one of Hollywood's more consistent actor-studio alignments.
Point of View
Including a Scorsese project, signals a deliberate studio alignment at a moment when traditional theatrical rom-coms have all but disappeared. Apple is effectively filling the mid-budget romantic comedy vacuum that major studios abandoned, and Lawrence is its clearest star vehicle. The real question is whether Apple will give 'One Month Mark' a theatrical window or route it straight to Apple TV+, which will determine whether the genre revival has genuine cultural reach or stays confined to a subscription audience.
