David O. Russell's American Hustle

[Loki882]

Bradley Cooper doesn't look half bad.

The afro puff is quite stylish if I do say so myself.

Anyone who’s been waiting for David O. Russell’s follow-up to last year’s Oscar-nominated Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle (also for for Sony), will be happy to know the film was locked down today. This is per one of the film’s producers, Richard Suckle, who was on hand to discuss the genesis of the film which is loosely based on the ABSCAM scandals of the 1970s. One of his funnier reveals was that star Bradley Cooper — not wanting to perm his hair for the film — spent hours in hair and makeup every day getting it curled. Co-star Christian Bale, on the other hand, gained 40 lbs. for his role and shaved the crown of his head to perfect his character’s outlandish comb over.

I guess Bale's belly is not padding after all if he gained 40lbs for the role. Which he lost already by now if we're to judge his set pics in Exodus.

There'll probably be a lot of comparisons between this and the Wolf of Wallstreet, Bale and Dicaprio etc.

they play music at my job over the PA system and they played that song from the trailer over it and i was like awesome .

I'm glad it's locked. It would be nice to see some professional reviews of the film sometime soon. It doesn't matter how good or bad they are I'm still seeing it but I like to look at reviews sometimes.

I am up for a period piece about corruption and all. But I am sorry, they went way over the top when it comes to make up, hair and wardrobe. I will judge this by the finished film, of course... but it may take me some time to stifle the giggles.

 

[Hurm...]

Yeah, and there are already a ton of comparisons between this and Scorsese's films.

 

[747]

I'm not a fan of too much comparing, so I hope it doesn't end up an either/or situation. Both movies looks really promising.

God knows how far his lifespan has shortened due to the extreme changes his body has suffered over the decade. I just hope he lives a full enough life to where his daughter doesn't have be a breadwinner of her family at an early age like he was.

Just watch some films from the 70's, the movie isn't really going overboard.

I find modern movie period pieces on the 70's actually often under do it when it comes to accurately depicting looks, especially when it comes to actresses who are usually given 70's or 80's inspired hairstyles but not the real hairstyles of that period.

The 70's were a truly bizarre decade for hairstyles. I've seen pictures of my dad in the 70's, his hair actually wasn't far off from bradley's there but actually bigger somehow. It was pretty much a full on jew-fro.

Someone should photoshop this and replace them with Rocket Raccoon, Lois Lane, Batman, Mystique and Hawkeye.

Yep, actually I often get annoyed because they under do the 70's and 80's fashion in films. I was born in 84 so I'm going off of family photos and the films at the time.

Great, now I'm comparing this to Star Wars.

 

[The Shape]

This looks great. Both trailers have been solid.

Christian Bale: Since hanging up his Batcape, the Oscar-winning actor has returned to his roots — going Method in two high-profile new films about men on the edges of society. In Scott Cooper’s Out of the Furnace, he adopts a blue-collar Pennsylvania accent to play a steelworker seeking to help out his troubled brother (Casey Affleck). And in David O. Russell’s American Hustle, he packs on pounds — and sports a memorable combover — as a 1970s con man pressured into helping the FBI with a sting operation. To appear shorter than costar Bradley Cooper, Bale even changed his posture — and herniated two disks for his troubles. “The old L4 and L5,” he says with a sigh. “I didn’t mean to do that, but yeah. I was just in bad bloody shape.”

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

Lol Can Bale not over do things for once?

 

[MrMaooz]

Dammit, Christian!

The styles/fashion is pretty spot on for the most part, but there are still a few anachronisms/inaccuracies:

http://tomandlorenzo.com/2013/10/american-hustle-posters.html

The ladies in particular have a 21stC, Photoshop-enhanced polished perfection that simply doesn’t reflect true ’70s style; not even the Studio 54 version of the ’70s. Even when it was all glitter and glamour, there was an underlying griminess that permeated the styles of the decade. For instance, J Law’s dress should really be a nipple extravaganza. It’s exactly what those kinds of dresses were designed for. Her headlights should be popping out all over the place. And while they did a pretty great job on Bradley Cooper, there’s too much visible product in his hair. This is no time for the wet look. White-guy ‘fros of the ’70s were dry, flyaway affairs (See: every late-season Brady male). They really nailed it with Jeremy Renner, though. He looks like the mayor of the town in Jaws. Christian Bale’s also hilariously on-point for a late ’70s middle-aged sleazeball.
