Though it has been reported filming on The Untitled David O. Russell Project wouldn’t begin until Monday, Mar. 18 in Boston, it looks like they might be shooting something today.
We know at least one of the movie’s stars, Bradley Cooper, is already in Boston, where he attended a screening of his new film The Place Beyond The Pines last night and is rumored to be staying at The Four Seasons.
There have also been reports that his co-star, Jeremy Renner, has been spotted around town, too.
The only real evidence we have that filming may be taking place today is a casting call we were forwarded looking for women to appear in an “indoor pool party scene set in the 70s” with availability on Wednesday, Mar. 13 and Friday, Mar. 14, presumably for this film which is also set in the 1970s. But, they could just be doing wardrobe fittings this week for filming taking place on a later date, this is not uncommon.
There have also been Twitter reports of the movie filming at the “new Herald building” and a Bradley Cooper sighting on Boylston St this morning, but neither has been confirmed.
Here’s what else we know so far:
- At some point filming is expected to take place on the 4th Fl at 1 Beacon St (possibly sometime next week).
- The movie’s production office is set up at 70 Fargo St., Ste. 809 Boston, MA 02210 under the name White Dog Productions, LLC. The production also lists the official filming dates for the film as March 18, 2013 through May 19, 2013.
- The movie is also expected to film in New York City at some point during that time period as well.
- The movie will open on Christmas Day (with a limited release on Dec. 13), just in time for awards season.
- Boston Casting is looking for vintage cars for the movie.
The Untitled David O. Russell Project, aka American Bullshit, aka Abscam Project, stars Christian Bale as a financial con-man who was caught by an OTT federal agent, played by Bradley Cooper, along with his girlfriend, played by Amy Adams in the 1970s. The couple was offered a deal provided they help turn the tables on other crooks and shady politicians. They ended up taking on a leader of the New Jersey state assembly, played by Jeremy Renner, among others. Jennifer Lawrence and Louis C.K. have also recently joined the cast.

Where are they filming today?
No where. It’s the weekend. And the film is done. Gammmmmme ovvvvvver
Well, I think they’re wrapped in Boston but they are due to film in NY next week
They are in Boston today in post office square
Absolutely positively sure?
they film Bale apparently
are they still there?
according to twitter (5 minutes ago),Robert de Niro,Cooper and Bale are again on set
Juuust saw them WOOOOOOO
And picked up my goodies at vanguard. awwwwyeaaaa
Do you mind checking to see f they’re still there? I walked like 35 minutes and they weren’t…just got back to my hotel after dinner to find they were there 5 min after I left
They were filming car scenes in Boston today, Saturday. A cording to one of the traffic guys associated with the film, they should wrap on tuesday
are they still filming right now?
I left at 3:45 and they were still there. Shooting was held up due to rain. Saw Remmer close up, but Bale only in car. I have photos but can’t seem to post them.
Are you going to actually go and see if they are? I can walk down the street and check.i have to pick up things at Vanguard that I’ve been procrastinating on. Hah. But if you are just looking for real time updates then forgettaboutit. It’s raining and laziness ensues
Off tomorrow; Monday & Tuesday in Woburn in an industrial park where there’s a soundstage–I got the impression they’ve been there before; any idea where that might be? Then it’s off to NYC…
Do you know if they’re all heading to NY and for how long?
apparently they will be in NY may 17th-18th
but after they wrap?? when they done filming?
the filming will finish in may 19th
are they coming back to boston for filming may 19th?
No, I’m pretty sure they’re wrapping for good in New York–IIRC, the original shooting schedule had them wrapping by the 19th, so unless something unusual/unexpected happens (which doesn’t seem likely), they won’t be back.
Road trip to NYC, anyone?
OK, mostly kidding…
Any one know if Renner will be filming in NY?
You have to go to the website for Boston Casting and set up a profile. You can do that for free and start receiving their emails. However, they had an open casting about 3 months back which my wife and I went to at their office in Braintree. My wife was an extra for the movie last Monday as they filmed a scene in Chelsea area. My wife said that all the stars were there. The shoot was 9.5 hours as it went from 10am to 7:45pm. She was one of about 14 extras that were there for the particular scene. Good luck!
Boston Casting’s office is on Braintree Street in Boston. It is NOT in Braintree.
Their office is on Braintree Street in Cambridge I believe, it isn’t in Braintree.
I went at 7 and they weren’t there…are they there now??
Jeremy Renner on set earlier today.
HQ pis, haha he looks cute love the hair!

Who is doing the extras casting for New York?
Grant Wilfley. I think they’re only looking for SAG members.
so the shooting is done?
Renner has a movie at Cannes is he going to be there or in New York? When do they get to New york…..
“Pretty sure I just walked by Christian Bale….And Bradley Cooper is filming by the Courthouse. Picked one hell of a time to walk home from work.” a tweet from NY
FILMING IS WRAPPED its official!
Sounds like they will be back in Boston this week, just saw this casting call
Seeking curvy women to work as extras in an upcoming movie set in the 70′s.
You must be available Wednesday, May 8th, in order to be considered. The scene will shoot near Boston.
I live down the street from Liverpool, took some pictures (of the cars) and saw Bradley for a minute–he was in an older limo with some other people…but yeah, other than that–they wouldnt let anyone near.
Christine–do you have a link to the casting call? how do you go about it?
