A teaser for the movie "Joy" has been released by 20th Century Fox which brings Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Robert de Niro back together. The true to life story film is vying to get to the Oscars Awards.

In the trailer of "Joy", Jennifer Lawrence is seen in another mature character for the titular role. The trailer shows Joy's journey from a young girl until she became a wife, a hands-on single mother to two kids, and a working woman who soon ventured into a business to feed her family. It showed her hardwork, struggles, courage and joy. The lead stars of the movie include Bradley Cooper and Robert de Niro who J.Law worked with in the award-winning "Silver Linings". Lawrence also starred with Cooper in another award-winning film "American Hustler".

It was director David O. Russell who did the said movies. According to The Guardian, this time again, "Joy" is being seen as a contender for major awards. Russell's last three movies were nominated for several Oscar awards.

"Joy", set in the 80's and 90's, takes on the life story of Joy Mangeno, a single mother of three who invents the Miracle Mop. She is helped by a Home Shopping Network executive, played by Cooper, to further promote the sales of her product. Her business later on booms and she builds a dynasty.

Mstarz adds that "Joy" will be an "epic and unexpected" story about the soul of a woman ages 10 to 40, as quoted from Russell. It will show how it feels to be a boss of a company and a godmother of a family and dynasty.

"Joy" is another movie in time for Christmas and New Year's Day that aims to inspire especially women, as it opens in cinemas on December 25, 2015 in the US and on January 1, 2016 in the UK.
