The young actress wanted to clear up the “terrible rumour” of having a conflict with director David O. Russell while filming because what they really have is an amazing working relationship.
“Hey guys! It’s Jen! I know I don’t go on here a lot because I can barely work email but there’s been a terrible rumor going around the last 24 hours so I wanted to clear it up. David O. Russell is one of my closest friends and we have an amazing collaborative working relationship. I adore this man and he does not deserve this tabloid malarkey. This movie is going great and I’m having a blast making it!” Lawrence’s Facebook post reads in a Cinema Blend report.
Meanwhile, director Steven Spielberg is currently in post-production with his upcoming thriller film titled “Bridge of Spies.” The film, which stars Tom Hanks as James B. Donovan, is scheduled to be released in the United States on Oct. 16, 2015.
