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.

October 5, 2012 at 7:33PM EST Reply to Commentseriously cool concept - hope it ends up being about 100,000x better than Public Enemy which blew big time. I have faith in David O. Russell though and the entire cast...and the plot seems pretttty legit.
