In 2022, David O. Russell will return with a brand-new film titled Amsterdam. The Oscar-nominated director hasn’t made a new film since 2015’s Joy, but Amsterdam is just as star-studded as any of his past productions, proving that he still knows how to assemble a cast.
Here is everything we know about David O. Russell’s most recent film, Amsterdam, which we first learned about at the CinemaCon 2022 convention.
The premiere date and first photo for David O. Russell’s new movie Amsterdam have been announced. Russell will take the reins as director for the first time since Joy (2015), working alongside Disney’s 20th Century Studios as the production company this time.
In his career, Russell has directed several outstanding films, including The Fighter, Silver Linings Playbook, and American Hustle, all of which have received Oscar nominations for Best Picture. For his most recent film, Russell will be joined by some of these actors, including Christian Bale and Robert De Niro.
The title and release date of Russell’s new movie were revealed by Disney’s Head of Theatrical Distribution, Tony Chambers, on Wednesday at CinemaCon. Alongside Bale and De Niro, the movie, titled Amsterdam, will also star Margot Robbie, Rami Malek, John David Washington, Chris Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Taylor Swift. The movie Amsterdam will debut in theatres on November 4, 2022. The news was released by 20th Century Studios.
The specifics of Russell’s Amsterdam have been largely kept a mystery up until this point. But now that viewers are aware, the story of three friends who got mixed up in a mystery after being witness to a murder in the 1930s is based on an actual story, not a fictional one.
Given the popularity of Russell’s past true-story period pieces like American Hustle, moviegoers this fall should keep his latest romantic crime epic, Amsterdam, on their radars. At CinemaCon, a brief teaser for the movie was presented, but more information and a complete trailer are likely to be made available to viewers in the near future.
The US and UK release Amsterdam on November 4.
Considering that David O. Russell’s most recent film, Joy, was released around Christmas in 2015, the time between his films would have been slightly under seven years.
Due to his recent releases, Amsterdam will be in the midst of award season when it comes out in the autumn. Between 2010 and 2013, Russell released three films that were nominated for Best Picture: The Fighter, Silver Linings Playbook, and American Hustle. Between the three films, there were 25 Oscar nominations and three wins: two for The Fighter for Christian Bale and Melissa Leo’s supporting roles, and one for Silver Linings Playbook for Jennifer Lawrence’s Best Actress performance. Can Russell attend the Oscars once more and possibly win one for himself with Amsterdam?
There is a possibility that Amsterdam will receive its premiere screening at one of the important autumn film festivals prior to its November release date (Toronto, Telluride, Venice).
Incredibly talented casts from the A-list have appeared in recent David O. Russell films. The cast of Amsterdam can compete with pretty much any of the director’s past casts and won’t be any different.
Christian Bale (who collaborated with Russell on The Fighter and American Hustle), Margot Robbie (The Suicide Squad, Barbie), and John David Washington (Tenet, BlackKklansman), who both be working with Russell for the first time, appear to be the key three for the film. Other actors in the cast include Michael Shannon (Nine Perfect Strangers), Rami Malek (No Time to Die), Zoe Saldana (Avatar: The Way of Water), Chris Rock (Fargo, Madagascar), Anya Taylor-Joy (The Northman), Timothy Olyphant (Justified, The Book of Boba Fett), Andrea Riseborough (Birdman, The Electrical Life of Louis Wain), Matthias Schoenarts (The Old Guard), Mike Myers (Shrek, The Pentaverate), Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark), Taylor Swift and Robert De Niro.
There is no information available about the other roles the cast will be portraying save the main group of pals that Bale, Robbie, and Washington play.
There are a few people missing from that list, most notably Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. The last three Russell movies featured Lawrence and Cooper as the leads (Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle and Joy). But to make up for the duo, there are many alluring new additions.
The story of Amsterdam, which takes place in the early 20th century, centres on the characters played by Bale, Robbie, and Washington. The tale is loosely based on actual occurrences, at least according to the trailer video exhibited at CinemaCon.
This is the summary supplied by IMDb.
The story, which is set in the 1930s, centres on three friends who witness a murder, turn into suspects, and learn about one of the craziest schemes in American history.
Audiences at CinemaCon were shown footage of Amsterdam, but it has not been posted online. However, we do know specifics about what the video depicted.
The clip begins with De Niro interrogating Bale, Robbie, and Washington about their past, according to Deadline. Bale’s voiceover declares that the three “made a deal and vowed to always look out for one another. But occasionally everything in life is ideal until it isn’t.”
Deadline’s final clip showed Chris Rock, Christian Bale, and Taylor Swift gathered around a coffin, with Rock joking that he, the Black guy, would be held responsible for the dead White man there.
David O. Russell is an Oscar-nominated writer and director who had a pretty strong run in the early and middle of the 2010s, as we’ve already mentioned. But he didn’t appear out of thin air. Since the 1990s, Russell has started producing movies.
Spanking the Monkey, Flirting With Disaster, Three Kings, I Heart Huckabees, The Fighter, Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle, and Joy are among Russell’s notable feature film directing credits. Under the moniker Stephen Greene, he also directed the film Accidental Love.
