David O. Russell's "Joy" (Jennifer Lawrence)

[flickchick85]

I doubt Amy will ever work ( Man I hope she really doesn't) with O' Russell again after the Sony leaks revealed she got verbally abused by him on the set of American Hustle so much that Christian Bale got up in his face and told him to ****.

Well this just makes me love Christian Bale more. Seriously, who could be mean to Amy Adams of all people? Only a monster, I say.

Yeah she comes off like such a nice woman.

This story could only be better if he did it in his Batman voice.

And very seriously, who the hell could be mean to Amy Adams? Russell went from one of my favorites, to absolute jerk status for me now.

 

[dark_b]

Russell was always a jerk. on the last 3 movies he was trying to play nice on set because he got back into the hollywood game.

 

[DA_Champion]

You guys know Russell physically assaulted Christopher Nolan?

It might've been too obvious a choice, but I thought that role in AH should have been Marissa Tomei's.

I thought Charlize Theron would have been great in the role, personally. That's kind of who I pictured the character as.

I agree though. I thought Jen was miscast as Bale's trophy wife. I didn't buy it. She comes across as way too youthful. Margot Robbie who's also the same age as Lawrence, played a similar role in The Wolf of Wall Street against DiCaprio but was far more convincing.

She played it to perfection.

 

[DA_Champion]

Robbie oozes far more sex appeal than Lawrence or nearly any other Hollywood actress.

This is what it's like to work with David O'Russell as Lily Tomlin found out on the set of "I Heart Huckabees".

He's a *****e as few other actors will testify.

I heard about that, it's no wonder Adams and Bale won't work with him again. It's a shame that directors like O'Russell keep getting work because they can't show professionalism and respect to their actors and BTS talent.

''Ageism is a real issue in Hollywood, and like dry land, it is not a myth. Middle-aged actresses struggle to find roles suitable for their talents every single day, while younger actresses are constantly cast as the romantic interest for men twice their age. Russell is part of the problem. Lawrence is ten years younger than Mangano, and there are numerous actresses that could have played the role just as well as Lawrence - actresses who are of appropriate age. This isn't the first time Russell has cast Lawrence to age down a role: in Silver Linings Playbook, the character was originally written as a 39-year-old widow, and in American Hustle, Lawrence was playing a character based on another middle-aged woman, Cynthia Marie Weinberg (changed to Rosalyn Rosenfeld in the film).''

This is exactly what I was thinking when I saw AH and the trailer for this. In AH it never seemed like the character was in Jen's age range and so it was watching a young woman trying to act like a middle aged woman and it seems we'll get more of the same here. I saw Robbie's name brought up but Robbie actually looks older than her actual age Jen does not.

Never heard of these events.

Former Batman Christian Bale may have just been unmasked as a real-life do-gooder.


The actor stepped in to defend his "American Hustle" co-star Amy Adams from a barage of "abuse" by the film's director, David O. Russell, according to an internal Sony email exchange that's been published by WikiLeaks.


The revelation came in the form of an email from journalist Jonathan Alter to his brother in law, Sony Entertainment CEO and chair Michael Lynton, detailing a source's account of chaos on the set of the 2013 Oscar-nominated film.


"Are you guys doing anything else with him?," Atler wrote to Lynton in a Sept. 12, 2014 email. "I know he's brilliant but we have someone on our show who worked closely with him on 'American Hustle' and not only are the stories about him reforming himself total b---**** but the new stories of his abuse and lunatic behavior are extreme even by Hollywood standards."

Among the litany of off-screen drama unleashed by O'Russell detailed by Alter: "He grabbed one guy by the collar, cursed out people repeatedly in front of others and so abused Amy Adams that Christian Bale got in his face and told him to stop acting like an a---hole.

I assume very few people actually stand up to him for him to be comfortable with doing it all the time. Probably out a of fear of losing their job.

I always thought that was some urban legend. Or is it actually true, that he put Nolan in a headlock?

 

[nite-owl]

The story goes that O. Russell put Nolan in a headlock because he was close to casting Jude law in an unnamed movie while David O. Russell wanted Law for I Heart Huckabees.

David O. Russell also go into a fight with George Clooney while making Three Kings.

 

[Malicked]

That story seems so bizarre because Nolan seems like the last guy on the planet who'd want to get in any sort of confrontation t:

And I guess you've really done something bad when you get someone as apparently nice as Clooney to smack you in the face!

 

[terry78]

He probably didn't want to, but O. Russell went all Biff Tannen and ****.

Jude Law was supposed to play Angier in the Prestige

 

[Prison Mike]

I guess Lawrence and Cooper are the only ones who don't get abused by Russell? Both of them have been in so many of his movies that they must get along well.

Clooney didn't like the way David O. Russell was treating an extra and they ended up getting into a fight because of it.

Jude Law was supposed to play Angier in the Prestige

Is that the Hugh Jackman role? it's been awhile since I saw The Prestige.

 

[Serpico Jones]

Russell put Nolan in a headlock during a party and would not let go unless Nolan agreed not to cast Jude Law in The Prestige. This is a fairly well known story, Russell's career derailed after this incident for several years.

 

[Serpico Jones]

I guess Lawrence and Cooper are the only ones who don't get abused by Russell? Both of them have been in so many of his movies that they must get along well.

I'm pretty sure there was a report that Russell and Lawrence got into a heated argument on the Joy set because she was tired of his verbal abuse.

Russell got abusive towards his cash cow Jeniffer Lawrence so much that Harvey Weinstein came onto the set and had a word. But the usual PR job for Jen came out later and said it was nothing.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I'm pretty sure there was a report that Russell and Lawrence got into a heated argument on the Joy set because she was tired of his verbal abuse.

And she just brushed it off saying like they were preparing for a scene. Either they're incredibly pretentious or Russell who's known for this **** actually crossed another line and treated his muse terribly. I'm thinking it's the latter and Lawrence bless her didn't want to throw him under the bus. Commendable but that doesn't mean this **** can go on.

This trailer didn't piss me off like Russell usually does and Lawrence looks like a better fit here than her previous Russell roles. Cooper looks like he's being directed by Russell and God knows what DeNiro is doing.

Edgar Ramirez. Hey, that's new!

 

[Prison Mike]

I couldn't tell the difference between Ramirez and Cooper. They look the same!
