Jennifer Lawrence has won the hearts of the masses, has every actor in Hollywood clambering to befriend her, and won an Oscar, so she's much nailed the acting game. It’s no surprise then that she’s now turning her hand to directing movies.

In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, she revealed plans to direct, like Angelina Jolie and Ryan Gosling before her.

Naturally, with her penchant for pulling faces and epic falls, she said she’d like to lead a comedy movie. However, her first project behind the camera sounds more like a horror.

"I've signed on to direct something called Project Delirium," she told the magazine. "It's based on this article about mental warfare in '60s, like an acid experiment gone terribly wrong."

While Jen has stayed pretty schtum about her plans until now, she explained they’ve been in the pipeline since the start of her career: "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.”

And while making the cross-over from acting to directing can be met with scepticism, she said now is the time. "If I had tried to do it earlier, I wouldn’t have been ready," she said. "Now I actually feel ready.”

We bet she already has plenty of volunteers for casting - _Hunger Game_s alumni reunion, anyone? Also: can we have a cameo?
