No other trio is on as big of a hot streak as Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and David O'Russell. With Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle, the three dominated multiple awards seasons by delivering darkly energetic tales both romantic and hilarious at times, all about family, hope and conquering the American Dream.
In their latest, Joy, the three are back -- as is Robert De Niro, who starred in both Playbook and Hustle -- and once again they're weaving a tale around the real-life story of a woman who rose to become head of a powerful family business.
Inspired by the life of Joy Mangano, who created the Miracle Mop and later went on to lead a company boasting over $1 billion in sales, the first trailer for Joy -- complete with all the darkly comedic flare we've come to expect from O'Russell's films -- can be seen below.
Joy stars Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, Edgar Ramirez, Diane Ladd, Virginia Madsen, Isabella Rossellini, Elisabeth Röhm and Bradley Cooper. The film arrives in theaters on Christmas Day.
What do you think of the first trailer for Joy? Should we reserve another Oscar nomination for Jennifer Lawrence now?
