Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence are teaming up for a new big budget film set in outer space, according to The Hollywood Reporter
Imitation Game's Morten Tyldum, who previously received a 2015 Oscar nomination,is set to direct the sci-fi drama Passengers, which, per THR is thisclose to being greenlit after several delays in production, due, in part to the recent Sony hacking scandal.
THR also reports that both A-list stars are set to receive a hefty payday for the flick, which is set to begin filming in September—and apparently, Pratt has a few dinosaurs to thanks.
Due to the success of Jurassic World,which garnered a whopping $208 million during its opening box office weekend, Pratt's fee has reportedly jumped from$10 million to $12 million.
Likewise, Lawrence, an Oscar winner who is arguably one of the world's biggest stars, is expected to receive a base salary of$20 million in addition to 30 percent of the profit after the movie breaks even, according to THR sources.
Yeah...safe to say they're sitting pretty.
Meanwhile, the reports that these two are teaming up have surfaced around the same time the Guardians of the Galaxy star spoke out about sexism in Hollywood and said the media needs to "objectify men" as much as we do women.
Asked whether having a toned physique was a prerequisite for being an actor, he replied, per Yahoo U.K.,"Never in a calculated way, but in hindsight, yeah. It was a huge part of how my career has shifted is based on the way that I look, on the way that I've shaped my body to look."
He added that he now feels "totally objectified" but insisted "I don't feel appalled by it."
Instead,"I think it's appalling that for a long time only women were objectified, but I think if we really want to advocate for equality, it's important to even things out," he said."Not objectify women less, but objectify men just as often as we objectify women.
"There are a lot of women who got careers out of it, and I'm using it to my advantage," he admitted. "And at the end of the day, our bodies are objects."
