Read more Suzanne Beer's film "Serena", the script for which was written by Christopher Kyle, is a film adaptation of the novel by Ron Resch. Having previously worked with Bradley Cooper in the films "My Boyfriend is a Psycho" and "American Fraud" (2013), Jennifer Lawrence herself suggested his candidacy to the director. The fact was that when the girl read the script, she immediately sent a copy to the actor with a request to play her screen husband. Initially, it was planned that Darren Aronofsky would direct the film. In the same period, the owners of the rights to the screen version were counting on Angelina Jolie in the main role. The work on "Serena" took place on the territory of the Czech Republic, which served as a model for North America in the 1930s. The film was shot from March to May 2012. After that, the post-production period began, which lasted as long as 18 months. One of the reasons was the director's perfectionism, as well as sound problems. It was necessary to mix the sound and do the dubbing of Jennifer Lawrence, who at that time was busy on the set of "The Hunger Games. And the Flames Will Go Out" (2013). The director tried to buy the actress for a few days, but she would have to pay an amount that exceeds the entire budget of "Serena".
