The first trailer for director David O. Russel’s third time at bat with Jennifer Lawrence (not to mention her co-stars Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro), Joy, was an absolutely wonderful and simple way of introducing this story of one woman journey to becoming the boss of family and enterprise. Now the first poster has come our way, perfectly capturing, in the easiest way possible, the sense that this is a human tale of the trials and tribulations of life.
Released: 25th December (U.S.)/ 1st January 2016 (IRL/U.K.)
Synopsis: JOY is the wild story of a family across four generations centered on the girl who becomes the woman who founds a business dynasty and becomes a matriarch in her own right. Betrayal, treachery, the loss of innocence and the scars of love, pave the road in this intense emotional and human comedy about becoming a true boss of family and enterprise facing a world of unforgiving commerce. Allies become adversaries and adversaries become allies, both inside and outside the family, as Joy’s inner life and fierce imagination carry her through the storm she faces. Jennifer Lawrence stars, with Robert De Niro, Bradley Cooper, Edgar Ramirez, Isabella Rossellini, Diane Ladd, and Virginia Madsen. Like David O. Russell’s previous films, Joy defies genre to tell a story of family, loyalty, and love.
