David O. Russell Wants Jennifer Lawrence To Play The Inventor Of The Miracle Mop

Mangano’s tale is an inspirational one. She was a single mom struggling to make ends meet by working three separate jobs. Then she invented the self-wringing Miracle Mop, which became a sensation on QVC. In 1999, she sold her company, which also makes Huggable Hangers, to HSN in a multi-million dollar deal.
Before you get too excited, keep in mind that a Russell-Lawrence reunion is far from certain. The director has a habit of getting linked to movies that never come to pass. He was eyeing The Ends of the Earth with Lawrence about a year ago, and was circling a JFK assassination pic starring Leonardo DiCaprio last summer, but has not yet decided which movie will be his follow-up to American Hustle.
Meanwhile, Lawrence is in higher demand than never. She’s currently shooting The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1 of which is due out this fall, and will next appear in this summer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. She’s also currently attached to reunite with Hunger Games director Gary Ross on two films, East of Eden and Burial Rites.
