Jennifer Lawrence Grabs Dinner With a Familiar Face

Jennifer Lawrence looked as chic as ever when she attended a group dinner with director David O. Russell in NYC on Wednesday. The pair was seen leaving the Greenwich Hotel together before they met up with a larger group for dinner at Il Mulino. Jennifer and David's Big Apple meeting was likely to discuss their latest project together, Joy, which is set to begin filming soon. The movie will follow the rags-to-riches tale of Miracle Mop inventor Joy Mangano and is slated for a December 2015 release date. Jennifer will tackle the lead role for the film, which will mark her third partnership with David. It's been a fruitful collaboration for the two, as Jennifer earned the Oscar for best actress for 2012's Silver Linings Playbook. She also earned an Oscar nomination last year for her role in David's American Hustle but ultimately lost out to Lupita Nyong'o.
