What happened?


During the first half of this decade she was on fire and looked like she was taking over but after 2015 it is like she has collapsed and her career took a massive downturn and she is no longer the "IT girl" in Hollywood and is not really doing much. Did she end up being a 15 minutes of fame type of fad?

Maybe she's on her way back. Three new movies currently in production.

Yep I think almost everyone is counting her out to soon. Since 2015 maybe not the best movies but she is still working.

X-Men: Apocalypse
Passengers (I liked it)
Mother (can't wait to see it)
Red Sparrow (Liked it)
Dior: Joy (Video short)
X-Men: Dark Phoenix

And like the poster above said she has three new movies currently in production. And remember she is only 29.

She "got old".

Any female who looks older than 25 will always get second-fiddle casting consideration.

20+ years ago Jennifer may have had longer staying power but Hollywood is no longer running on the old rules where power agents and their alliances with studio chiefs usually resulted in many actors and actresses getting top billing and a movie career lasting longer than 12 years.

H'wood studios are held to more scrutiny and expectation by their parent companies and promoting "new" is always going to win out over promoting "critically acclaimed".

Scarlett Johansson begs to differ.

I don't know either. She had all of these films planned and then nothing. It's disappointing. I really liked her. I feel like that's been happening with a lot of actors and actresses. They have about a year or two where they're cast in everything and then they're out of the spotlight.

Margot Robbie happened. She totally replaced Lawrance as the new "IT" girl and has proved to be better than her in every way.

reply

I wouldn't go that far.

reply

What is going too far? Margot is a better actress, more attractive and is already more successful. She also hasn't done anything stupid like Lawrance to alienate people.

reply

Jennifer Lawrence hasn't done anything stupid either. Her photos getting leaked weren't her fault. Blame the hacker.

The hunger games went on too long, her other films didn't build a new audience, her nudes were leaked and she went political. Add her perceived arrogance and Hollywood found other actresses to hire.

This is a common trend.

I find some of the comments here to be very sexist. First of all Jennifer Lawrence does have a certain charm and can act so you can't attribute her whole career to f*** Weinstein. Sure he gave her opportunities but she used them since she does have quality. There are a lot of beautiful women in Hollywood and not everyone can actually act well in movies and Jennifer can do it better than most. Then accusing her of being a slut, I find that in poor taste. Sure she is a slut but that is no reason to like her less. More like a reason to like her more. News for you guys, women like sex. Some women are even into fat bastards especially if they have money and power. So she combined what she likes doing with what she likes getting, big deal. Some of you guys act like there's a bunch of Marlon Brando acting lvl actresses out there that Jennifer Lawrence screwed over by screwing Harvey. In short, yeah I believe she is slutty and no I don't judge that. Women love getting it as.much as dudes as some of them.use it you know, the oldest trade in the world.
