20th Century Fox has released the first trailer for Joy, Russell’s upcoming biopic about Miracle Mop inventor Joy Mangano. Mangano invented the Miracle Mop when she was in her mid-thirties (approximately 10 years older than Jennifer Lawrence is now) and supporting her children as a single mother. But hey, why cast an actress of an appropriate age when Lawrence is available to be dowdied up with ‘90s-era blazers and a middle part?
And what do you know! Russell even managed to get the whole gang from Silver Linings Playbook (a movie in which—to be fair—Jennifer Lawrence did not play a 30-something mother, but a 39-year-old widow) back together by casting Bradley Cooper and Robert DeNiro, as well. Great. Very original. Can’t wait.
