Director Gene Stupnitsky has set his next feature. No Hard Feelings, starring Jennifer Lawrence, is set to hit theaters next year.

Stupnitsky made his feature directorial debut with 2019’s Good Boys from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s company Point Grey Pictures. No Hard Feelings will follow in the same vein, telling a similar coming-of-age tale through a comedy-drama lens. He is no stranger to the director’s chair, previously working in television directing two episodes of The Office. Stupnitsky is penning the screenplay in collaboration with John Phillips.

Lead star Jennifer Lawrence is also attached as a producer with her company Excellent Cadaver. No Hard Feelings will mark the second Lawrence-led feature for her production company, after 2022’s acclaimed Causeway for Apple TV+. In addition to Lawrence, Naomi Odenkirk, Justine Polsky, and Marc Provissiero will serve as co-producers through Odenkirk Provissiero Entertainment. Sony Pictures Releasing won No Hard Feelings’ distribution rights after a major bidding war where they reportedly fended off big competition from Apple, Netflix, and Universal Pictures.
