Fresh off winning her first Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook, Jennifer Lawrence is back to work again and this time it’s in the Greater Boston area. She’s filming another movie with co-star Bradley Cooper and Silver Linings Playbook director David O’Russell in various locations around the city this week.
The cast is absolutely stacked, with Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner and even comedy titan Louis C.K. joining Lawrence and Cooper. The movie is about the late-1970s “Abscam” FBI sting operation that brought down several corrupt politicians, but has yet to be given an official title. Abscam doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue.
Some of them have already filmed scenes in Lynn, and more filming takes place this week in Malden and Medford. Bale has been photographed on set looking very bald and decked out in ’70s garb (see more set photos at The Film Stage).

And Bradley Cooper, whose character is named “Jimmy Boyle”, just looks like a regular dude:

It’s unclear what role Louis C.K. will play in the movie, but whether he intends to or not he will probably be the comic relief.
Even though the movie is being filmed in Boston, it doesn’t take place in the city. It’s actually mostly about the corrupt mayor of Camden, New Jersey, played by Renner. But hey, plenty of big-name stars are in our city so no complaints here.
