Jennifer Lawrence to reteam with Silver Linings Playbook’s David O. Russell and Bradley Cooper

Jennifer Lawrence will reunite with her Silver Linings Playbook director David O. Russell for the film formerly known as American Bulls**t.

The announcement comes from Deadline, who suggest she will play Christian Bale’s wife in the ensemble flick.

Written by Eric Singer, the untitled pic tells of a true sting operation of Atlantic City gangsters and corrupt politicians conducted by the FBI.

Lawrence’s Silver Linings co-star Bradley Cooper is also set to star.

Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner are similarly attached, while Louis C.K. was rumoured to have a part in the flick too.

Lawrence scored an Oscar nomination for her work in Silver Linings, and is considered the favourite to take home the prize.
