Reuniting his Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle stars Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper in a way that will hopefully make everyone in the world forget all about Serena and Accidental Love, David O. Russell’s next film Joy has a teaser trailer to share. Click below to take a look.
This one looks every inch Lawrence’s movie. She plays real-life inventor Joy Mangano, a mum with three kids to raise and only her wit, ingenuity and patent-pioneering smarts to help her do it. Before long, she’s not watching the Home Shopping Network, she’s starring on it.
Russell loves plumbing dysfunctional families for comedy and pathos, whether the surrogate kind (Three Kings, American Hustle) or the real deal (The Fighter, Silver Linings). This one looks like no exception.
With Robert De Niro playing Joy’s dad, Edgar Ramirez her feckless husband and Isabella Rossellini, Diane Ladd and Virginia Madsen also aboard, Joy will hit UK cinemas on January 1.
