Madden went down in history as one of the larger-than-life personalities to grace NFL sidelines. After leading the Oakland Raiders to their first Super Bowl title as a head coach, he found equally remarkable success as a sports commentator. He redefined what it means to be a football broadcaster, providing commentary to four major American TV networks and winning 16 Sports Emmy Awards.

Madden would mark David O. Russell’s first film since the last year’s Amsterdam, starring Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, and John David Washington. It’s based on Cambron Clark’s script, and Russell has been working on a rewrite for Amazon and MGM.

Ferrell most recently appeared in the holiday musical comedy Spired alongside Ryan Reynolds, and he has several projects on the way this year. We’ll soon see him in Barbie alongside Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, and he’s also attached to the R-rated comedy Strays and Jessica Yu’s untitled film starring Sandra Oh and Awkwafina.

According to its official logline, Amsterdam is “a fascinating and richly intricate tale that brilliantly weaves historical fact with fiction” and it centers on “three close friends who find themselves at the center of one of the most shocking secret plots in American history.”

The first trailer tells us the backstory of the three main characters, played by Bale, Robbie, and Washington. After forming a pact to protect each other during their days in the army, they’re put on a test after being accused of a murder that they didn’t commit… or so they claim.

As always, O. Russell managed to ensemble a start-studded project that includes many A-list actors, besides the main trio. Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Rock, Matthias Schoenaerts, Michael Shannon, Mike Myers, Taylor Swift, Zoe Saldaña, Rami Malek, and Robert De Niro are also set to star.

Amsterdam is the director’s first film since 2015 when he released Joy starring Jennifer Lawrence. It’s set to premiere on November 4, just in time for awards season!

The film in question is being developed under the working title Canterbury Glass, and it will center on a doctor and a lawyer who form an unlikely partnership. It will be O. Russell’s first film in over five years, as it serves as the follow-up to his 2015 dramedy Joy.

The director of American Hustle and Silver Linings Playbook is no stranger to working with star-studded acting ensembles, but he really upped his game for his next project. In addition to Swift, Canterbury Glass is also set to star Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, John David Washington, Rami Malek, Zoe Saldana, Robert De Niro, and Anya Taylor-Joy, among others.

Swift hasn’t appeared on the big screen since starring in the musical Cats in 2019. Her filmography also includes the dystopian drama The Giver, romantic comedy Valentine’s Day, and a voice role in The Lorax.

Russel is best known for his work in the Oscar-winning films American Hustle and Silver Linings Playbook. Most recently he directed Joy starring Jennifer Lawrence.

Malek won an Oscar for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody and he’s set to star in the James Bond sequel No Time to Die as Safin, which is set to debut on April 2. His next film to premiere is the psychological thriller The Little Things, which also stars Denzel Washington and is being released on January 29.

Saldana appeared in Avatar, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame, which were the highest-grossing movies ever. She’s set to reprise her role as Neytiri in James Cameron’s Avatar 2, which hasn’t received a release date. The actress is also returning as Gamora in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 with Chris Pratt and Dave Bautista.

Production is currently underway in Los Angeles and no release date has been announced yet.

This project will serve as a follow-up to O. Russell’s 2015’s Joy, and not much is known about it at the moment. Collider previously reported that the project’s working title is Amsterdam and that it will “follow the unlikely partnership between a doctor and a lawyer.”

Christian Bale is no stranger to working with O. Russell, and he previously scored an Academy Award for the supporting role in his movie The Fighter and received another nomination for American Hustle. Robbie, however, never worked with the director and this film will be their first project together.

The Australian star recently starred in Once Upon a Time …in Hollywood and scored a series of major award nominations for her role in Bombshell. She returned to the theaters this month in the role of DC heroine Harley Quinn in their latest comic book movie Birds of Prey.

The frequent director-actress collaborators got candid about working together. The duo has collaborated on a trio of films together —Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle, and Joy, which grosses a very impressive $588.7M at the global box office.

The first time the two worked together was on Silver Linings Playbook. But Russell had his doubts working with the young actress and she was the last to board the project. 

“For Silver Linings,” he said, “we thought you were too young and there were other actresses in the front of the line who were close to getting the role.”

But getting to work with Russell’s was a formative experience for Lawrence who told the director, “You shaped me.”

“I would put it this way: She showed up and she was, like, a raw talent that had no neuroses and no self-consciousness,” Russell said. “She was completely fearless. She would come into the scene like a weather system and leave me and Bob [De Niro] and Bradley [Cooper] and Jacki Weaver and Chris Tucker just kind of like, wow.”

By the time he began working on American Hustle Russell knew he wanted to work with Lawrence but she was “technically not available.”

“I called her up on her vacation and I said, ‘I feel like I would be remiss as your friend if I did not give you one last chance to say no to this role,” he recalled. “You said, ‘will I get to have big hair and long nails and be crazy?’ And I said yes, and you said, ‘Okay, I’ll do it.’”
