Oscar-winning filmmaker Jennifer Lawrence will do a double task of starring and producing "The Rules of Inheritance".

The 22-year-old actress will team up once again with director Susanne Bier, who serves behind the lens for Lawrence and Bradley Cooper's next film "Serena", reported Ace Showbiz.

The film is based on Claire Bidwell Smith's memoir about a woman who loses both her parents to cancer as a young adult.

"We are thrilled to be working with the dream team of Jennifer Lawrence, Susanne Bier, Abi Morgan and Bruce Cohen," FilmNation CEO Glen Basner and production chief Aaron Ryder said in a joint statement.
 

"We have no doubt that this inspirational and hopeful book will be turned into an emotionally powerful movie that audiences around the world will fall in love with," they added.

Lawrence has meanwhile wrapped up "The Devil You Know", which is set for a July 9 release. "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire", her next chapter as Katniss Everdeen, will open nationwide on November 22.
