First Character Posters For David O’Russell’s ‘American Hustle’ Feature Jennifer Lawrence, Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper & More
Five character posters for David O’Russell’s upcoming period dramedy have been released and they are all sorts of amazing. The film is based on the true story of a notorious financial con artist (Christian Bale) and his mistress/partner in crime (Amy Adams), who were forced to work with an out of control federal agent (Bradley Cooper) to turn the tables on other con artists, mobsters, and politicians. Someone better turn these into a deck of cards. Jennifer Lawrence, Jeremy Renner, Robert De Niro, Louis C.K., Michael Pena, and Jack Huston also star. American Hustle opens in limited release on December 13th hits theaters everywhere on Christmas Day.
A fictional film set in the alluring world of one of the most stunning scandals to rock the States, 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.
