Christian-Bale-Amy-Adams-American-HustleDavid O. Russell‘s American Hustle is definitely one of the movies we’re looking forward to at the end of the year. We got to do a Skype chat with the Director during the recent Summer of Sony event in Cancun as they were filming in Boston and that interview will go live nearer the film’s release.

In the meantime, here’s the first trailer for the movie which stars Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, Jennifer Lawrence, Christian Bale and Jeremy Renner.

A fictional film set in the alluring world of one of the most stunning scandals to rock our nation, American Hustle tells the story of brilliant con man Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale), who along with his equally cunning and seductive British partner Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) is forced to work for a wild FBI agent Richie DiMaso (Bradley 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. Irving’s unpredictable wife Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence) could be the one to pull the thread that brings the entire world crashing down. Like David O. Russell’s previous films, American Hustle defies genre, hinging on raw emotion, and life and death stakes.
