Jennifer Lawrence to Star and Produce Romantic Comedy 'One Month Mark' for Apple
Apple Original Films has acquired 'One Month Mark,' a romantic comedy spec script written by Sophie Fleur de Bruijn, with Jennifer Lawrence attached to star and produce. The film marks Lawrence's fourth project with Apple, following her recently wrapped Martin Scorsese drama 'What Happens at Night' alongside Leonardo DiCaprio. The deal highlights both Lawrence's deepening relationship with Apple and the competitive demand for de Bruijn's original screenplay.
Apple Original Films won a competitive bidding situation to acquire 'One Month Mark,' a romantic comedy spec script by playwright and performer Sophie Fleur de Bruijn. The film's logline centers on two characters with opposite relationship patterns: a woman who has never stayed in a relationship past a month, and a man who has never gone longer than a month without one. Jennifer Lawrence will star and produce through her Excellent Cadaver banner alongside producing partner Justine Ciarrocchi, with Chernin Entertainment's David Ready and Peter Chernin also producing. De Bruijn, a graduate of the Second City Conservatory and alumna of iO and The Upright Citizens Brigade, previously sold a spec comedy called 'Early Action' to Apple last year, making 'One Month Mark' her second Apple collaboration. The project is Lawrence's fourth Apple Original Film, following the 2022 drama 'Causeway,' the Peabody Award-winning documentary 'Bread & Roses,' and the just-wrapped Scorsese film 'What Happens at Night.' No director has been attached yet, though a search is already underway.

America at 250: Conservative Voices Debate the State of Higher Education and Shared Culture
Two opinion pieces published ahead of America's 250th anniversary argue that foundational American ideals are under threat — one focusing on the ideological drift of universities away from merit and civic education, the other on the erosion of a common national culture that once bridged class divides. Both pieces are written from a conservative perspective and appear in right-leaning outlets. The arguments reflect a broader debate about what American institutions should preserve or restore as the nation marks a major milestone.
