With his American Hustle still awaiting on Oscar success, David O. Russell is wasting no time in moving on to his next project.
The biopic will be a rags-to-riches story, telling how Joy Mangano, a single mother of three children working three jobs to support them, ending up becoming ‘Mother of Invention’ when she developed a prototype for her Miracle Mop in 1990.
The product went on to become a huge seller on QVC when Mangano herself went on air to pitch it and sold 18,000 mops in 20 minutes. Mangano went on to become a successful inventor of similar domestic products and later sold her mop-making business in a multimillion-dollar deal.
There's no word yet on whether Lawrence will accept the part, which might be tricky considering her busy schedule. Coming up, she has commitments to Serena, X-Men: Days Of Future Past and The Hunger Games; Mockingbird, not to mention other projects to which she has been attached.
