Bale returning to Russell film?

Christian Bale is reportedly back on board for David O Russell's upcoming drama.

The Batman star was linked to the project earlier this year but the news was followed by rumours that he had dropped out.

However, according to The Wrap, Christian is set to star in the project, which is currently untitled but was previously called American Bulls***.

It has also been announced that Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Renner and Amy Adams will co-star in the political drama.

The film follows a financial con man (Christian) and his girlfriend (Amy), who are caught by a federal agent (Bradley).

Atlas Entertainment's Charles Roven said: "David has put together an incredible ensemble of actors for what is going to be a powerful and emotional drama about one of the most memorable cast of characters in recent history."
