Jennifer Lawrence to play war photographer in Steven Spielberg biopic

Jennifer Lawrence will play the role of war photographer Lynsey Addario in a new Steven Spielberg film.

Deadline report that the actress will take on the part of the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist in a flick inspired by Addario's memoir.

The photographer released the book It's What I Do: A Photographer's Life Of Love And War last month.

The movie will be released by Warner Bros film studio and it will feature Andrew Lazar as producer.

Spielberg will take on directing duties.

Addario's book focuses on her time in Afghanistan during the post-9/11 conflict.

The photographer has also worked in places such as Iraq and Darfur, with Addario at one point kidnapped in Libya.
