David O. Russell’s American Hustle Trailer

The trailer for David O. Russell’s American Hustle has hit the web and the cast includes actors who previously worked with him on The Fighter and Silver Linings Playbook.

The premise is the following:

A fictional film set in the seductive 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 British partner and lover Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) is forced to work for a wild unhinged 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. Renner is Carmen 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.

The cast also includes Jeremy Renner, Robert De Niro, Louis C.K., Jack Huston and Michael Peña.

American Hustle will premiere in theaters on Christmas Day.
