Sought after Oscar winning Actress Jennifer Lawrence, who can currently be seen as Raven aka Mystique in X-Men: Apocalypse is set to team with The Big Short's Adam McKay for the Medical drama Theranos.

Theranos will see the Oscar winning McKay step behind the camera to Direct the film about the controversial blood testing company.
As well as the aforementioned X-Men: Apocalypse, Lawrence returns to Cinemas as Aurora in Morten Tyldum’s Passengers alongside Guardians of the Galaxy hero Chris Pratt on December 23.
