Despite earlier reports that he was withdrawing from the project, Christian Bale is indeed reuniting with "The Fighter" director David O. Russell and co-star Amy Adams for an as-yet-untitled upcoming film.
Bradley Cooper and Oscar nominee Jeremy Renner are also starring in the fact-based drama about a pair of infamous con artists (Bale and Adams) in Camden, N.J., who were drafted by a federal agent (Cooper) to help rid the city of other such criminals, as well as dirty politicians and crooked cops. Renner will play Camden's passionate and volatile mayor.
