A new film starring and produced by Academy Award-winner Jennifer Lawrence is coming to Apple TV+ later this year. Apple Original Films has landed Causeway, an intimate portrait of a soldier struggling to adjust to her life after returning home to New Orleans. Emmy Award-nominee Brian Tyree Henry co-stars alongside Lawrence. Filmed in New Orleans, the A24 film is written by Ottessa Moshfegh, Luke Goebel and Elizabeth Sanders. Lawrence produces alongside Justine Ciarrocchi for Excellent Cadaver.
The conversation around the Apple Original Films slate continues to grow since the debut of Apple TV+. Besides CODA landing three historic Academy Awards, Apple Original Films recently premiered the broadly acclaimed Cha Cha Real Smooth, winner of the 2022 Sundance Film Festival US Dramatic Audience Award, and will soon premiere other anticipated titles, including Raymond & Ray, starring Ewan McGregor and Ethan Hawke; Peter Farrelly’s The Greatest Beer Run Ever, a new dramedy starring Zac Efron and Russell Crowe and based on the true story; Spirited, the modern musical rendition of Charles Dickens’ classic holiday story A Christmas Carol starring Ryan Reynolds, Will Ferrell and Octavia Spencer; and, Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Killers of the Flower Moon.
