JLaw will be directing a thriller called Project Delirium, based on a 2012 New Yorker article called Operation Delirium, about the secret chemical experiments the US government carried out on its own soldiers in the 1960s.
She told Entertainment Weekly, ‘I have wanted to direct as long as I’ve wanted to act. I just don’t talk about it because I’d rather just do it. I’ve signed on to direct something called Project Delirium — it’s based on this article about mental warfare in the ’60s, like an acid experiment gone terribly wrong.’

Jennifer has expressed an interest in directing before. At the Golden Globes last year she said, ‘My passion for directing happened at the same time it did for acting on my first movie. So I would love to direct – but I don’t want to suck.’
Looking at her track record, we highly doubt it’s going to suck.
