Jennifer Lawrence Opens Up on Martin Scorsese Film Prep and Praise

Jennifer Lawrence is preparing to reunite with Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese’s upcoming supernatural film, What Happens At Night. The actress, known for her candidness, recently shared her thoughts about working with Scorsese and how she approaches the preparation for such a high-profile project. Her comments came during an interview promoting her new film, Die My Love, directed by Lynne Ramsay.

Insights on Collaborating with Martin Scorsese and Acting Preparation

When asked about her preparation for her collaboration with Scorsese, Lawrence responded with a touch of humor, expressing some uncertainty about fully trusting the legendary director on their first venture together. She said,

“I don’t know if I trust him. He’s going to have to really prove himself to me…I’ll probably do what I always do, which is panic and then try to get in touch with an acting teacher and then meet the acting teacher and then never see them again. That’s my process.”

Jennifer Lawrence’s candid insight highlights her often anxious but determined method in getting ready for roles.

Lawrence also elaborated on the steps she usually takes to prepare for her characters, emphasizing reading, memorization, and immersing herself deeply in the role. Reflecting on previous co-stars, she mentioned working alongside Leonardo DiCaprio on Don’t Look Up and noted his intense approach to character details. She explained,

“I’ll read, I’ll be prepared, I’ll memorize. Leonardo DiCaprio [who is in the Scorsese movie, too], we worked together on ‘Don’t Look Up,’ and he’s somebody who knows when his character was born and what kind of cologne they wear. Leo in ‘One Battle After Another’ is so serious in his commitment, and that’s what makes it hilarious. When I was working with Leo, I was just like, I gotta be doing whatever he’s doing. But Christian Bale changed me a lot, too, in ‘American Hustle.’ I was 23 and very sensitive about getting embarrassed in front of the crew. I thought acting was embarrassing. And so I would make a point of not acting until I absolutely had to, at ‘action.’ But then I would see Christian. When the crew started getting ready, the lights started getting ready, and it became clear we were going to start rolling soon, he would slowly start getting ready. I was like, That seems like a good idea and I should do that when I’m more mature and can handle people looking at me and being like, ‘Pshh, she’s acting.’”

Lawrence’s Admiration for Recent Films and Co-Stars

Jennifer Lawrence also expressed high praise for Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film One Battle After Another, which features Leonardo DiCaprio in a leading role. After watching the movie in 70mm IMAX, she shared her enthusiasm, stating,

“Oh, my god. I saw it last night in 70-millimeter IMAX as God intended. It’s the most incredible movie I’ve ever seen in my entire life.”

This strong admiration reflects Lawrence’s appreciation for cinematic craftsmanship and the work of her collaborators.
