Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper, who have shared screen in "Silver Linings Playbook" and "American Hustle", reunite as a couple in "Serena" which trailer has arrived for viewing pleasure. It opens as Lawrence's title character and Cooper's George Pemberton meet, flirt and fall in love.
Together, they run a timber empire and in many scenes Serena proves herself to be equal to any man and surprises men with her boldness. But things soon take a turn for the worse when Serena learns Cooper's secret that he has a child with another woman.
Based on a novel of the same name by Ron Rash, the period drama is directed by Susanne Bier with the script provided by Christopher Kyle. It follows newlyweds George and Serena Pemberton who travel from Boston to the mountains of North Carolina where they begin to build a timber empire in 1929.
Serena soon shows herself to be the equal of any man: overseeing crews, hunting rattle-snakes, even saving a man's life in the wilderness. Together, this king and queen rule their dominion, killing or vanquishing all who stand in the way of their ambitions.
But when Serena learns that she can never bear a child, she sets out to murder the woman who bore George a son before his marriage. And when she starts to suspect that George is protecting his illegitimate family, the Pembertons' intense, passionate marriage begins to unravel as the story moves toward its shocking reckoning.
The drama movie was filmed in the Czech Republic in 2012 and is due in the U.K. on October 24. No U.S. release date is set for the pic yet.
