We've got another potential Oscar movie here, although that kind of anticipation is mostly just based on Russell's recent hot streak with the Academy. Lawrence stars as Joy Mangano, or the woman who invented the "miracle mop," in this biopic, but you can't really tell a lot from this trailer, which is mostly a minute and a half of montage stuff. Obviously they're advertizing it as another Jlaw/Bradley Cooper vehicle, although I hear his part is actually much smaller in this, so that's misleading. Frankly, I'm starting to think my suspicion that she had two notes of acting range (loud or stoic) is proving true, because she sure looks pretty stoic again in this teaser. Interestingly, this is actually the first time Russell has put her in the lead role of one of his films. Joy's coming out at Christmas.
