Academy Award-winner Jennifer Lawrence is set to play a mob wife-turned-police informant in ‘Mob Girl’ to be helmed by Italian filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino. The upcoming crime drama is learned to be an adaptation of Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Teresa Carpenter’s non-fiction crime story under the same name.
The script penned by Angelina Burnett will be produced by Lawrence along with Justine Polsky, Sorrentino and Lorenzo Mieli. According to an American Hollywood digital magazine, the film revolves around Arlyne Brickman, a woman who grew up among mobsters in New York City. Over the course of time, she becomes a mob girlfriend who wanted a piece of the action herself. Later, Brickman becomes a police informant and a major witness in the government’s case against the Colombo crime family.
