The 25-year-old "Hunger Games" star said she wanted to direct since she was 16, reported Entertainment Weekly.
"I've signed on to direct something called 'Project Delirium'. It's based on this article about mental warfare in the '60s, like an acid experiment gone terribly wrong.
"It's funny, I've wanted to direct since I was 16 and always thought I should start making steps towards that. If I had tried to do it earlier, I wouldn't have been ready. Now I actually feel ready," Lawrence said.
Fresh from the success of "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2", the Oscar-winning actress is currently working on a comedy with Amy Schumer.
