Male lead in Jennifer Lawrence's next 'East of Eden' not finalised yet

Male lead in Jennifer Lawrence's next 'East of Eden' not finalised yet



A lot has been made of the one book-two-movies trend in Hollywood - with The Hobbit coming to mind - but in the case of one massive classic from the American literary canon, two films are definitely better than one. 
​
Jennifer Lawrence is all set to play Cathy Ames, the sly and manipulative woman who carves a path of seductive destruction through the heart of the story and every character in East of Eden. PIC/AFP However, when it comes to an epic like East of Eden, the cast is yet not clear although the ambitious projects were announced back in 2012.
​
While Jennifer Lawrence has always been attached to this project, there's no information about who will play the men whose brotherhood is torn asunder by her character.
​
The movie, based on John Steinbeck's book by the same name, is being considered for a split into two feature-length films according to writer-director Gary Ross. The project has been on the director's to-do list since last year, when JenLaw, who first worked with Ross on The Hunger Games, expressed interest in playing a part in a big-screen version of Steinbeck's classic novel.
