David O'Russell can't seem to get enough of working with America's sweetheart, Jennifer Lawrence. After all, with nominations falling in their laps during awards season, Telegraph notes that "it is becoming increasingly clear that when director David O'Russell and Jennifer Lawrence collaborate on a film, success invariably follows."
According to Deadline, the director is looking to cast Jennifer Lawrence yet again in one of his movies -- this time, a biopic about the inventor of the Miracle Mop, Joy Mangano.
The script is written by Oscar-nominated Annie Mumolo, who penned the script for "Bridesmaids." The new project is far from a comedy, however, and is described to be a "rags-to-riches story of a woman who worked three jobs to support her kids and who overcame long odds to finally get her due with an invention that became an HSN sensation and allowed Mangano to clean up. It is a strong empowerment tale."
According to Celebuzz.com, Mangano, the subject of the film, now has "100 patents to her name and remains one of the most popular presenters on America's QVC home shopping network."
If she decides to take the project, this will be Lawrence's third collaboration with O'Russell after "Silver Linings Playbook" and "American Hustle," both of which earned her nominations in the Academy Awards.
This year, Lawrence's and Russell's collaboration project, "American Hustle" is up or 10 Oscars that includes Best Picture and for performances by the ensemble that included Amy Adams, Christian Bale, and Bradley Cooper (who also starred with Lawrence in "Silver Linings Playbook"). Russell is up for Best Director, and for Best Original Screenplay, with Eric Singer.
Lawrence has already several projects lined up. She will be reprising her role as Mystique in "X-Men: Days of Future Past," and again as Katniss Everdeen in the last two installments of "The Hunger Games" franchise. She will also teaming up again with Gary Ross in an adaptation of "East of Eden", as well as the Hannah Kent novel, "Burial Rites".
