The first American Hustle trailer premiered this morning on “Good Morning America” and can be viewed directly below. The film comes from the Oscar-nominated director of Silver Linings Playbook, David O. Russell, and stars Christian Bale, Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner.
Based on the true story of a notorious financial con artist (Bale) and his mistress/partner in crime (Adams), American Hustle follows their story as they are forced to work with an out of control federal agent (Cooper) to turn the tables on other con artists, mobsters, and politicians. At the epicenter of the entire tale, is the passionate and volatile leader of the New Jersey state assembly (Renner) who is also the local hero and mayor of impoverished Camden.
The film is set for a limited December 13 release and will expand on Christmas Day.
