Jennifer Lawrence has been cast in a romantic "dramedy" being developed at Columbia Pictures.
The Hunger Games star is to play the lead in The Rosie Project.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film is an adaptation of Graeme Simsion's novel The Rosie Effect, in which a socially anxious, awkward professor formulates a survey to find the perfect partner.
His stringently tested plans are thrown off track when he meets Rosie Jarman (Lawrence), whose personality goes against every requisite his survey demands.
Written by Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber (500 Days of Summer), with Matt Tolmach and Michael Costigan producing, the movie is currently in need of a director.
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Lego Movie) were initially attached to the project, but the pair were forced to bow out when they took on the young Han Solo Star Wars movie.

Lawrence is currently working on Passengers, a sci-fi love story co-starring Chris Pratt.
