After working together on THE HUNGER GAMES, Gary Ross and Jennifer Lawrence look set to collaborate for a second time on the adaptation of John Steinbeck’s novel EAST OF EDEN.
Universal Pictures have acquired the rights to the book, with Ross as writer, and Imagine Entertainment and Brian Grazer producing. Considered a modern classic, EAST OF EDEN is loosely based on biblical story Cain and Abel. Set in pre-WWI California, the tale focuses on two families and how their lives intertwine, with themes of love, a struggle for acceptance, guilt and freedom.
Originally adapted in 1955 by Elia Kazan (grandfather of Zoe Kazan), it featured James Dean in his first major screen role.

Considering Jazmine grew up watching CARRY ON SCREAMING, THE LION KING and JURASSIC PARK on repeat for weeks on end, it made sense for her to study film at London South Bank University. It’s also a good thing that her course requires a lot of sitting down because she’s very accident-prone. When she’s not examining her bruises, she likes pretending that she doesn’t live in Southend-On-Sea and spends hours mindlessly blogging. Favourite films include BLUE VALENTINE, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND and TOY STORY 2.
