Following yesterday’s news that Jeremy Renner is in talks to join Bradley Cooper in David O. Russell’s upcoming movie, American Bullshit, comes info via THR that Amy Adams has joined the cast as well.
The movie is based on the true story of a con man (Bradley Cooper) who rather unwillingly helped the FBI unravel an enormous conspiracy spanning from Philadelphia to Washington D.C. Adams is set to play Maxine Gardner, the con man’s mistress, who also helps the FBI agent (Jeremy Renner) tackle the case.
David O. Russell, who directed Amy Adams in The Fighter, is working from a screenplay by Eric Singer (The International). Filming on the movie should begin next February.
