American Hustle will mark the return of David O’Russell to the director’s chair in a movie that is already being tipped as a possible Oscar contender.
We haven’t seen O’Russell at the helm of the movie since the success of Silver Linings Playbook last year. The movie sees him reunite with many actors that he has worked with before; and they all feature in this great new poster.
Christian Bale and Amy Adams will reunite for the first time since The Fighter, while Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper are back together after the success of Silver Linings Playbook.
Double Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner is also on the cast list, as he works with director O’Russell for the first time.
Set in the seductive world of one of the most stunning scandals to rock the United States, American Hustle tells the story of brilliant con man Irving Rosenfeld (Bale), who along with his equally cunning British partner and lover Sydney Prosser (Adams) is forced to work for a wild unhinged FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Cooper).
DiMaso pushes them into a world of Jersey powerbrokers and mafia that’s as dangerous as it is enchanting. Jeremy Renner is Carmine Polito, the passionate, volatile, New Jersey political operator caught between the con-artists and Feds.
American Hustle is released 1st January 2014.
