Jennifer Lawrence is headed to Atlanta to film her new movie ‘Passengers’ alongside Chris Pratt.
Passengers is about a man, to be played by Pratt, who is among thousands of passengers on a colony ship partway through a decades-long interstellar journey. Awakened early from cryogenic sleep by a system malfunction, he finally makes the decision to wake another sleeping passenger, to be played by Lawrence, to avoid spending decades alone on the ship.
