PanARMENIAN.Net - Before there was Silver Linings Playbook, before there was America Hustle, there was Serena. The Susanne Bier-directed project was the first of three movies that Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence would film together. Unfortunately, the third installment in the Copper-Lawrence saga has not been faring as well as its predecessors, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Serena is a romantic melodrama that follows two newlyweds (Cooper and Lawrence) in North Carolina in the 1920s as they attempt to build a timber empire. When the wife discovers that her husband has been keeping secrets from her about the business, it appears that she will be taking matters into her own hands.

The movie, which was shot 2½ years ago, was picked up by Magnolia Pictures in September amid complaints that the film was nonsensical.

Serena hits U.S. theaters on March 27.
