MUMBAI: After their association in Silver Linings Playbook, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper are due to come together in a yet untitled film to be directed by David O Russell.

The film, written by Eric Warren Singer (The International) and O Russell, centers on a 1970‘s FBI sting operation by the name Abscam. The operation, set up by a con artist, ultimately led to the conviction of several elected officials including a US senator and five members of the House of Representatives.

Lawrence will play the wife of co-star Christian Bale‘s character. Also in the star cast are Jeremy Renner, Amy Adams and Louis CK.

The new film also reunites O Russell and Bale, the pair having worked together earlier for The Fighter.

Lawrence, Cooper and O Russell have all received Oscar nominations for Silver Linings Playbook.
