Multiple sources have reported unconfirmed though entirely plausible news that major Hollywood stars may be shooting movie scenes in Medford in the upcoming days....if they haven't already started. Scenes for a biopic of Miracle Mop inventor Joy Mangano - starring Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro - have been getting made around Boston and its suburbs since February.

On Tuesday, an anonymous source told Inside Medford that the Chevalier Theater had been selected for a scene, and a Medford man tweeted "Jennifer Lawrence movie is filming next door to my house"



The film - tentatively titled either "Joy" or "Kay's Baptism" - is described as a "rags-to-riches tale about Miracle Mop inventor Joy Mangano, a Long Island single mother of three children, who became a millionaire practically overnight after launching the product on QVC in 1991. Mangano (being portrayed by Lawrence) is a fixture on the Home Shopping Network with her many inventions, though the mop was her ticket to fame and fortune. She began her inventing as a teen and kept on dreaming and tinkering while still a single mom raising three kids." The movie has an expected release date of Dec. 25, 2015, and also stars Elizabeth Rohm, known for major roles on numerous cult-favorite TV shows. Isabella Rossellini, best-recognized for her iconic performance in the 1984 noir classic "Blue Velvet," likewise has a role in the film.
