Jennifer Lawrence Is Starring in a 'Secret' Indie Movie from A24

Jennifer Lawrence is going to star in a film for A24 and IAC FILMS, Variety and Deadline report—and while we don't know a ton about the project yet, what we have so far is pretty goddamn promising. It's executive produced by J-Law herself, along with Scott Rudin, Eli Bush, and Justine Polsky—a stacked crew, judging by their work on films like Lady Bird and Mid90s—and it's being helmed by Lila Neugebauer, an extremely talented theater director.

Here's the bad news: We have no idea what the film is actually about, the production timeline, what Jennifer Lawrence's character is, who her co-stars might be, or what the project is called. (It says "secret" in the headline; if you're here to find out this information, I don't know what to tell you.)

But here's what we do know: The executive producers, Scott Rudin and Eli Bush, appear to be A24's power production couple. The duo worked together on some of A24's most impressive movies, including Eighth Grade and Ex Machina, along with both Greta Gerwig and Jonah Hill's stellar directorial debuts. That's not to mention their work on FX's What We Do in the Shadows TV adaptation, which bangs. (Or rather... fangs? I'm so sorry).

That's to say nothing of Jennifer Lawrence herself, who can play the hell out of basically anyone. We've seen her take on roles from Katniss Everdeen to Mystique, from a Russian intelligence officer to the wife of a con man. She has had a few stumbles—why, Passenger, why do you exist—but she's almost always stellar in indies. As Indiewire points out, her breakout came from Winter's Bone, which won the Grand Jury prize at Sundance. For its part, indie distributor A24 has been practically minting Oscar nominations lately. Their brand is so strong, fans even make lists of films that seem like they should be made by A24, the unifying characteristic of them being that they're all very, very good.

Oh, and obviously it is also a good thing that Jennifer Lawrence is emerging from a year-long acting hiatus like a beautiful butterfly from its chrysalis. Welcome back, J-Law! Hope you had a good break!

This Is What Fish Oil Supplements Actually Do

For centuries , humans have used fish oils, orally or topically, to treat a wide array of ailments, from aches and pains to rickets and gout. The popularity of this supplement has shifted over the years, as have its primary uses. But over the past couple of decades, the hype around fish oil has arguably reached an all-time high. According to National Institutes of Health statistics , in 2012, at least 18.8 million Americans used about $1.3 billion dollars worth of fish oil, making it the third most widely used supplement in the nation. (Sales reportedly flattened out at about that level around 2013.) Today, many use it because they believe it will broadly help their heart health , but others hold that fish oil can help with renal health, bone, and joint conditions, cognitive functions and mental wellness, and any number of other conditions. But is fish oil really as good for you as millions of Americans believe it is? Who should be taking it and when? We dove into the research and

Periods are normal, but kids pointing them out in their sketches is something else. Australian woman Penny Rohleder shared a photo of her son's drawing on the Facebook page of blogger Constance Hall on Jul. 25, which well, says it all. SEE ALSO: James Corden tests out gymnastics class for his son and is instantly showed up by children "I don't know whether to be proud or embarrassed that my 5 year old son knows this," Rohleder wrote.  "Julian drew a family portrait. I said 'What's that red bit on me?' And he replied, real casual, 'That's your period.'"  Well, at least he knows. To give further context, Rohleder revealed she had pulmonary embolism in October 2016, and was put on blood thinning treatment which makes her periods "very, very bad," she explained to the Daily Mail .
