Jennifer Lawrence has signed on to star in "Rules of Inheritance."

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that the actress will also produce alongside Bruce Cohen who worked with the actress on "Silver Linings Playbook." Abi Morgan will write the script while Susanne Bier will direct the film with Glen Basner's FilmNation financing the project.

Basner issued a statement stating, "We are thrilled to be working with the dream team of Jennifer Lawrence, Susanne Bier, Abi Morgan and Bruce Cohen. We have no doubt that this inspirational and hopeful book will be turned into an emotionally powerful movie that audiences around the world will fall in love with." 

Cohen added, "Jennifer, Susanne, Abi and I are incredibly excited to be working on this extraordinary project together. We all believe this film can strike a deeply resonant chord with audiences, just as Claire's riveting memoir has."

The movie will be based on Claire Bidwell Smith's memoir and will tell the story of Smith's romances, adventures and travels. It is described as "an inspirational, emotionally charged and surprisingly humorous journey that celebrates life, the people we love and lose and the discoveries we make along the way." 

Lawrence recently wrapped work on David O. Russell's "American Hustle" and "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire." She is currently filming "X-Men: Days of Future Past" and will next be seen in "Serena," which is also directed by Bier. Lawrence recently won an Academy Award for her work on "Silver Linings Playbook" and rose to fame for her work in "Winter's Bone" and "The Hunger Games."

Bier last directed "Love is All You Need" and "In a Better World," which won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Film.  Morgan last wrote the "The Iron Lady" and "Shame" while Cohen produced "American Beauty," "Big Fish," and "Milk."
