PictureBradley Cooper and Christian Bale in 'American Hustle'
Hollywood film director David O. Russell seems to be on a creative roll and from the looks of the trailer for his next film, 'American Hustle' (due in the US in December), the trend looks set to continue. After his 2010 effort 'The Fighter' received several Oscar nominations and a Best Supporting Actor win for Christian Bale, Russell followed it last year with the equally acclaimed 'Silver Playbook Linings' which starred Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. Again several Oscar nominations came the film's way and this time, it was 22 year old Lawrence who picked up a Best Actress award.

Now Russell returns with a film he says is about "a wild world of crazy characters" set in the 70's and 80's. It is centred on a con man and his partner in crime who are forced to work with a federal agent to turn the tables on other con artists, gangsters and crooked politicians. However, on the look at this first very entertaining trailer, the order of the day seems to be the character's various hairstyles, really giving flavour to the time period. There are perms, comb overs, hair piled high. I particularly took to the tight little curls displayed on Bradley Cooper's head.

The director (who also co-wrote the script) has assembled a stellar cast including Christian Bale and Amy Adams (from 'The Fighter'), Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence and Robert De Niro (from 'Silver Playbook Linings'), Jeremy Renner and one of my favourite stand up comedians, the brilliantly inventive Louis C.K., in what I believe may be his first feature film appearence. The promise delivered in the trailer combined with the usual high quality calibre of Russell's work translate to my expectations being high on this one.
