Jennifer Lawrence's new movie Serena arrives on iTunes before its U.S. theatrical launch

March 8, 2015

Serena, starring Jennifer Lawrence, is available to rent in the iTunes Store today, a full three weeks before it will be released in theaters. A rental of the film will run you $9.99 in both HD and SD.

The movie, set in North Carolina during the 1930s Depression, also stars Lawrence's Silver Linings Playbook co-star Bradley Cooper, and is set be released in US theaters on a limited basis on March 27 (it has already been released in theaters across Europe). Here's the description from the iTunes Store listing:

George and Serena Pemberton (Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper and Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence) are love-struck newlyweds building a business empire. Serena proves herself to be equal to any man: overseeing loggers, hunting rattle-snakes, even saving a man's life in the wilderness. With power and influence now in their hands, the Pembertons refuse to let anyone stand in the way of their inflated love and ambitions. But their passionate whirlwind romance is threatened by demons from their pasts, forcing the couple to reckon with blackmail, jealousy and murder in this ravishing period film directed by Oscar winner Susanne Bier.
