\"joy<\/a><\/p>\n

Released in 2015,\u00a0Joy<\/em><\/strong> was yet another film from the team of director David O. Russell<\/strong> and star\u00a0Jennifer Lawrence<\/strong>. It was also a genuinely bad, overwrought movie, with Lawrence completely miscast as\u00a0Joy Manga<\/a>no, inventor of the Miracle Mop. While Russell received the sole screenplay credit on the finished film, he had actually rewritten a script by\u00a0Annie Mumolo<\/strong>, co-writer of\u00a0Bridesmaids<\/em>.\u00a0Now, six years later, Mumolo has weighed in on what happened behind-the-scenes, calling it a \u201cheartbreaking experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

After landing an Oscar nomination for her\u00a0Bridesmaids<\/em> script, Annie Mumolo was a writer in demand. Which made her next script, Joy<\/em>, a hot commodity.\u00a0As THR<\/a> reported back in 2015, Mumolo had spent a year working on the screenplay, which was based on the true story of Joy Mangano, creator of the QVC hit the Miracle Mop. The script eventually attracted the attention of David O. Russell, who was riding high following the success of\u00a0Silver Linings Playbook\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0American Hustle<\/em>.
\nAnd that\u2019s where things went south. Russell rewrote the script, which isn\u2019t uncommon for directors. However, he also sought sole credit for said script, despite the fact that Mumolo had spent so much time working on it. Mumolo fought for credit on the film via arbitration, and while the WGA did not award her a co-writing credit on the script, she did get a \u201cstory by\u201d credit \u2013 alongside Russell.<\/p>\n

Mumolo has kept silent on what happened for the last few years, but that changed when Mumolo and Kristen Wiig<\/strong>, who both co-wrote and star in the upcoming\u00a0Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar<\/em><\/strong>, sat down recently for a joint interview with Variety<\/a>. During the course of the conversation, Mumolo was asked about the\u00a0Joy<\/em> experience, to which Mumolo replied, \u201cOh boy. That was a toughie. It\u2019s a tough business.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wiig jumped in to add: \u201cA lot of times when you write something, or you\u2019re writing for a producer or for a studio, it is that sort of writer-for-hire. You get your notes and you write and basically, you are writing what they want.\u201d At this point, Mumolo elaborated further on the\u00a0Joy<\/em> situation, saying:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Joy\u00a0<\/em>movie was a very heartbreaking experience for me, and I had to just sort of separate because of that aspect of things. When it was going in one direction, we got a phone call overnight that there\u2019s a change happening. And then I was asked to do things that were against my morality, and it was very difficult. When I didn\u2019t feel comfortable doing those things that were against my values, I was lambasted. I can\u2019t say too much. I guess probably because I was living in fear. It\u2019s sort of a testament to the power of how in show business, people have a tremendous amount of power and what they can do with it and how they wield that power. Sometimes, the people who have so much power are people who shouldn\u2019t, and in the normal world, they wouldn\u2019t have that much power they\u2019re being given.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mumolo isn\u2019t naming names, obviously, but it sure sounds like the person with way too much power in this situation was Russell, a filmmaker who has a long history of controversies<\/a> but who keeps landing big movie gigs because he turns out hits. Mumolo continued: \u201cYou almost can\u2019t talk about certain things\u2026I had many people approaching me at the time to come out and say things or talk about it. But then it was, \u2018Oh no, you can\u2019t because you won\u2019t get hired.\u2019 \u2026I just kind of had to swallow it. It\u2019s just one of those things about the writer\u2019s position.\u201d
\nAll in all, this sounds like a terrible situation, and I have nothing but sympathy for Mumolo here. Mumolo and Wiig\u2019s\u00a0Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar <\/em>arrives on February 12, 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
