Jennifer Lawrence has reportedly signed on to a role that is already making future Oscar prognosticators’ Best Actress lists. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the actress will play Zelda Fitzgerald in a biopic about the writer that may be directed by Ron Howard. Howard is involved in the development process, but apparently has not yet signed on to helm.

It seeks to tackle the question: “Can love exist between creative equals?” The two were married when Zelda was just 19, so presumably at some point Lawrence might be playing a character (close to) her own age.
