It looks like the first trailer for "American Hustle," starring Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper is finally here. The David O. Russell film features a star-studded cast including the likes of Christian Bale, Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner.
The 1970's thriller is about the fictional depiction of the once existing FBI sting operation, Abscam. The operation targeted traffickers in stolen property and ended up naming six members of Congress and other government officials on bribery charges.
Without a doubt this is definitely a period film with the cast rocking a variety of '70s fashions and facial hair along with authentic New York accents, according to the New York Daily News.
The trailer opens with a bearded and pudgy Bale, playing con artist, Irving Rosenfeld. The character is talking to an also bearded and jerry curled Bradley Cooper about a Rembrandt painting hanging in anart gallery to which he says is a fake. "Who was the master, the painter or the forger?" Rosenfeld asks him.
To be honest the trailer doesn't give away too much detail concerning the plot but we do get to see Amy Adams flaunting her slender frame in a white tasseled unitard and later see her get arrested after she spirals lower and lower into life during the process of having a relationship with Bale.
The "American Hustle" trailer promises plenty of action with the stars partying, gambling, drinking, and dabbling in trouble to the soundtrack of Led Zeppelin's "Good Times, Bad Times."
In one scene in the trailer Bale asks Cooper, "You ever took a quarter from a phone booth?"
He continues to say, "You stole. I just got bigger balls than you."
Director, David O. Russell told "Good Morning America" that audiences "can expect a wild world of amazing characters."
"People with their passions and their hearts that was inspired by this wild event that happened back then."
Check out the trailer below and let us know if you plan on seeing "American Hustle" when it hits theaters December 13th.
