A Page from Lawrence's Sterling Silver Playbook

The trailer just hit for Silver Linings Playbook. David O. Russell's new film, based on Matthew Quick's novel about mental-healthy challenged characters, looks kind of schmaltzy, but pretty darn good, none-the-less. This will be Jennifer Lawrence's first pairing with Bradley Cooper before next year's Serena. I haven't read the book, but it looks like a great role for her. Having taken on so much serious fare already, the movie looks to give her a slight comical bent with still the dramatic material she is so comfortable with. It also stars Robert DeNiro, Jacki Weaver, Julia Stiles (who bears a small resemblance to Lawrence) and, gasp, Chris Tucker!

He hasn't been in a non-Rush Hour movie since the 1990s! It's good to see him back. And he gets one of the best moments in the trailer. Tucker (taking in Lawrence's beauty): "She's fine." Cooper: "She Is My Friend ... with an 'f.'" Tucker: "A capital 'F'" ... [Cooper overlapping Tucker: "For friend"]/Tucker: "she's Fine." Made on a budget of $26M and lensed in the Philadelphia-area, the film drops on the 21st of November. This will be one of TWC's big Oscar bids for the year and includes Cooper as a producer. The cinematographer Masanobu Takayanagi did the camerawork for The Grey, Warrior, and next year's Out of the Furnace. Editor Jay Cassidy was behind The Pledge, Brothers, and the documentary An Inconvenient Truth.
