Emma Stone is producing the film with her close friend, Jennifer Lawrence, but neither of them will be starring in the main role. Stone explained to W magazine that they wouldn’t be right for the part, saying they don’t measure up. Despite their combined three Oscar wins, neither actress has ever worked with Joan Rivers.
