Jennifer Lawrence Trades the Bow & Arrow for a Shotgun in "Joy" Trailer

Love them or hate them, Jennifer Lawrence and David O.Russell are back for their third collaboration. After the success of "Silver Linings Playbook" (which won Lawrence the Oscar for Best Actress) and "American Hustle" (which almost won Lawrence the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress), it would only make sense the two would pair up again. This time, O.Russell has cast Lawrence as Joy Mangano (otherwise known as the inventor of the Miracle Mop) and cast her alongside past co-stars Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro.

Based on her success with not only the Academy, but box office wise, it would be foolish to bet against Lawrence's Oscar chances. Though the trailer is light on dialogue, it would seem there's a lot for the actress to sink her teeth into. I'm sure Lawrence will also find a way to put her signature quirky spin on the character as she's done with past O.Russell creations.

While I think Best Actress is too crowded this year for the usual favorite to sneak in, the fact she has one more "Hunger Games" film being released a month before this film may pole vault her into the awards race. It's still too early to tell, but you can make your mind up about the film's teaser, which you can watch below.

"Joy" will be released in theaters everywhere Christmas Day.

Jennifer Lawrence & David O.Russell's Next Collaboration... The Miracle Mop?

It seems like Jennifer Lawrence and David O. Russell are set to become the next Burton & Depp or Scorsese & DiCaprio-esque duo in terms of collaboration. In what will be their 3rd film together (after Silver Lining's Playbook and last winter's American Hustle), O.Russell could potentially take over for Bridesmaids co-writer Annie Mumlo as the director and screenwriter of a film based centered on the creator of the Miracle Mop. O.Russell has admitted he would write the screenplay for Lawrence specifically.
