Fresh from the success of "Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1," Chris Martin's girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence will next star in a Steven Spielberg's opus.

Backed by Warner Bros., the film, "It's What I Do: A Photographer's Life Of Love And War" is a biopic about Lynsey Addario, said Deadline.

Jennifer Lawrence will play the famed photographer with Steven Spielberg directing.

"The memoir has been the hot title since it was excerpted by The New York Times Magazine, and there were no shortage of bidders for the life of a woman who goes into the most dangerous places in the world in search of truth," the website noted.

Deadline said that Working Title was among the bidders and would have tapped Reese Witherspoon for the starring role of "It's What I Do: A Photographer's Life Of Love And War."

According to her website, Lynsey Addario is a regular contributor to the Time magazine, National Geographic and The New York Times. She was named as one of the top five most influential photographers for the past 25 years.

"Lynsey began photographing professionally for the Buenos Aires Herald in Argentina 1996 with no previous photographic training or studies. She eventually began freelancing for the Associated Press in New York, where she worked for several years before moving abroad to New Delhi, India to cover South Asia," her bio says.

"In 2000, Addario first traveled to Afghanistan under Taliban rule to document life and oppression under the Taliban, and has since covered conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Lebanon, Darfur, and Congo. She photographs features and breaking news focused on humanitarian and human rights issues across the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa."

After starring a highly commercial franchise, "Hunger Games," the Steven Spielberg movie is another chance for Chris Martin's girlfriend Jennifer Lawrence to dive into an interesting character. She already showed her acting chops by winning the Oscars for Best Actress for her performance in "Silver Linings Playbook."
