Jennifer Lawrence Says Adele Warned Her Not To Be On ‘Passengers’ – Hollywood Life
Just go along for the trip! Jennifer Lawrence has led blockbuster franchises and owns a mantle of titles, but she knows her career isn’t without a few bumps along the way.
The 32-year-old star opened up about one of her most memorable movies in a new profile for The New York Timeswas published on Wednesday, November 2, 2022. There, she admitted that her 2016 sci-fi film Passenger could have been avoided – if she had followed her friend’s advice.
Look back Chris Pratt project, Causeway starlet said to NYT, “Adele told me not to do it! She said, ‘I feel like the space movie is the new vampire movie.’ I should have listened to her.”
Jennifer joined the project as a big star after the success of The Hunger Games, so expectations – and budgets – are high. Billed as an A-list sci-fi rom-com drama, Passenger just didn’t take off. The $300 million global figure is considered a modest success, given the feature’s rumored $100 to $150 million budget.
However, it was much worse in the important aspect, with Rotten Tomatoes stamped the film with a weak 33%. Consensus? J. Law and Chris’ chemistry can’t make up for a troubling scenario. (The movie earned a little Oscar nod to its technical achievements. Passenger Nominated for Best Original Score and Best Production Design at 89th Academy Awards.)
The Mommy! the actress admitted that Passenger reminded her of the holiday on screen in an interview with Vanity Fair in 2021. “I didn’t create the quality I should have,” she confessed. “I just thought people were sick of me. I’m sick of me. It got to a point where I couldn’t do anything right.
Her acting hiatus lasted tk, before she returned to the screen with the Netflix satire starring Adam McKay Don’t look up. Next, she starred in the intimate drama Road, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and streamed on Apple TV+ starting November 4.
