Jennifer Lawrence inspires character in new 'Star Trek' movie
Writer Simon Pegg says the character of 'Jaylah' in the upcoming sci-fi action film 'Star Trek Beyond' is inspired by Jennifer Lawrence. The 46-year-old 'Mission Impossible' star said a role of the actress in the 2010 film 'Winter Bone' gave the inspiration for Jaylah, reported Femalefirst. Played by Sofia Boutella, the character is a new face in the Star Trek universe.
"Jaylah is actually named after Jennifer Lawrence in 'Winter Bone'. We were trying to create this very independent character. But we didn't have a name for it. So we just called it 'Jennifer-Lawrence-In-Winter's-Bone'," Pegg said. While giving details of how whole name changed into Jaylah, Pegg said, "That's a long name. So it started getting tiring always saying, well Jennifer-Lawrence-In-Winter's-Bone is fighting here. So then we started calling her J-Law. And then she became Jaylah.
