Robert De Niro says can commit to David O. Russell sans script

Los Angeles April 13 (IANS) Veteran actor Robert De Niro says David O. Russell is among those directors to whom he can commit for a project even before he gets the script in hand.

David O. Russell was telling me the story in bits and pieces and so on for about a year I guess. And then finally started sending pages then the whole script. I think he sent some pages or half of it or something whatever. And there s certain directors they say they re doing something you re going to say you ll do it you ll commit way before the script is written De Niro said in a statement.

The actor has worked with Russell in three projects with Joy being one of them.

Joy tells the tale of self-made real life entrepreneur and inventor of the Miracle Mop Joy Mangano and the story of the journey towards the success.

The film based on a true story will be airing on Star Movies Select HD on Wednesday.
