Jennifer Lawrence is a major favourite here at FemaleFirst and we can't wait to see her reunite with filmmaker David O.Russell for Joy.

Joy is a movie that is already being tipped as a major Oscar player and will be the third collaboration between Lawrence and Russell - they have already worked together on Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle.

Based on the true story of Joy Mangano - a struggling single mum who went on to invent the Miracle Mops and turn herself into a hugely successful entrepreneur - the movie will see Oscar winner Lawrence take on the title role.

Two great new images have been released featuring Lawrence alongside Édgar Ramírez and Robert De Niro.

A terrific cast has been assembled for the film, as De Niro and Bradley Cooper reunite with both Lawrence and Russell. Ramírez, Elisabeth Röhm, Dascha Polanco, and Isabella Rossellini complete a terrific line-up.

Joy is the wild story of a family across four generations centred 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.

Joy is just one of the movies that is being tipped as an early Oscar contender... will this movie land Jennifer Lawrence another Best Actress Oscar nomination? Could she scoop this major gong for a second time? We are going to have to wait and see. But it looks set to be another Lawrence performance that you cannot afford to miss.
