Finding magic in the ordinary and extraordinary parts of humanity.
(And Bee Gees!)
How does director David O. Russell want people to react to the new trailer for his film,Joy?
I want it to be unexpected, he says.
Its something weve never done before.
And like previous Russell films (and Russell film trailers), music plays an important role.
Music is extremely important, says Russell.
It makes things happen!
Its the harmonic trifecta of emotion.
If it envelops you, you’ve got the option to forget time.
Its part of the process of always trying to make things unexpected.
Unexpected like… using the Bee Gees?
The Bee Gees are operatic and fun and poppy but also serious, says Russell.
It takes great courage to be sincere and put your heart out there.
Thats what I love about them.
Joyis out in theaters on Christmas Day.
Watch the new trailer above.
