The Hunger Games have been good to Jennifer Lawrence, and subsequently JLaw is good to the men that directed those four films. Lawrence is slated to star in two films directed by the original Games' helmer, Gary Ross (Burial Rites and an adaptation of John Steinbeck's East of Eden). And now, after wrapping three Hunger Games films with Ross' replacement, Francis Lawrence (no relation), Jennifer is leaving Panem and re-teaming with the Catching Fire and Mockingjay director.

FLaw (is he called that yet?) is directing The Dive, a deep sea true story, hold-your-breath adventure. Dive will follow married free-divers Francisco “Pipin” Ferraras and Audrey Mestre (Lawrence), who competed against each other while diving as far as possible underwater on a single breath of air.

Couples that can't breathe together stay together. James Cameron filmed Ferraras attempting to reach the same depth that Mestre did in a previous, immersive short film. The Titanic director, who is currently behind on all the Avatar sequels, will also produce the film. Expect an announcement soon on which man is holding his breath for both Lawrence's.
