After confirming David O. Russell’s next movie Joy will begin filming in Boston this month, we have our first details about exactly where and when the shoot will take place.
According to flyers that were distributed in the neighborhood, Joy will be filming on Federal St in Wilmington, MA on Feb. 19 – Feb. 26. The notice also reveals the movie is filming under the working title Kay’s Baptism.
Joy, which chronicles the unlikely rise of Miracle Mop inventor and HSN regular Joy Mangano, stars Jennifer Lawrence, as Mangano and her American Hustle/Silver Linings Playbook co-stars Robert De Niro and Bradley Cooper.
Joy marks the third movie Russell has made in Boston in recent years. American Hustle and The Fighter were both filmed in Massachusetts, too.

I think that filming would have to begin today 9th in Haverhill (MA)..but were postponed because the snow storm in Boston…then,there are filming in Wilmington (MA) between 19th/26th feb. Shooting will take place in different locations. I hope that they can start soon!
Any chance to be able to meet/get an autograph from JLaw before or after shooting or during breaks?
you’ll have to get past the body guard she has hired for the film.
They are filming today, Feb 18, at a farmhouse on Middle Rd just south of Newburyport. Police are re-directing traffic.
They are removing all the snow around the house and the roof of the house on federal street in Wilmington Ma

thanks for all of the updates guys! please keep us posted if you see more!
My daughter would love to see/meet her, but it sounds like they are doing a good job of keeping people away from the location.
it sounds like they might be shooting at night or in evening, maybe try going then, has anyone else tried?
Are they doing an open call for extras? Does anyone know the casting agency?
They are filming in North Reading, MA next week, off of Route 28 on Winter St, in the old warehouse behind the heavenly donuts next to the Papa Gino’s.
