Jennifer Lawrence is armed and determined in the teaser trailer for her latest David O. Russell collaboration, Joy.
The movie, which hits theaters Christmas Day, is based on the stories of several powerful women including the inventor of the Miracle Mop, Joy Mangano.
In the trailer, Lawrence’s Joy is shown growing up, going to college and getting married over a church bell-filled version of “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.”
