Maddie, the woman in question is nothing more than a living disaster. “Together with co-writer John Phillips, we didn’t know if Jennifer Lawrence would agree to our story, but it’s clear that we wrote her with her immense versatility as an actress in mind,” Stupnitskaya explained. “We also thought it would be fun to make his character angry.
