Lawrence Regrets Passengers Script Oversight
16 Aug
Summary
- Lawrence regrets not spotting script flaws in Passengers.
- Passengers was a sci-fi romance with Chris Pratt.
- The film received Oscar nominations but poor reviews.
Jennifer Lawrence, an Oscar-winning actress, has reflected on her role in the 2016 sci-fi romance film, Passengers. She admitted to Vogue that she regretted not recognizing fundamental flaws in the script before production commenced.
Lawrence described the script as a 'tainted, complicated love story' that she found beautiful at the time. However, she has since stated that she wished she had investigated the material more thoroughly before committing to the project.
Despite not considering Passengers a complete failure, the film, which co-starred Chris Pratt and was directed by Morten Tyldum, received a generally poor critical consensus. The movie did secure two Academy Award nominations for Best Original Score and Best Production Design.
Passengers endured a lengthy development period, with various individuals attached to the project over the years. The film ultimately explored the difficulties faced by two passengers who awaken prematurely from hibernation on a spacecraft, a plot Lawrence found intriguing but ultimately flawed in execution.
