The only two David O Russell films that I truly liked are Three Kings (which I recently gave a re watch on HBO Max and it was very entertaining. His other good film in my book is The Fighter. I rate both of those a solid 8/10. But the rest of his filmography is pretty much annoying crap. (Joy, American Hustle, Silver Linings Playbook & I Heart Huckabees being the absolute worst imo)
Hoping that this new project of his is at least decent

Hate to bring this up but is anyone dreading the press tour for this film? Because man....it's going to be an absolute shit show You can bet those gossipy vultures(read: the damn journalists!) are dying to bombard the cast and crew with uncomfortable questions regarding DOR's wild past

It's his best film after 3 KINGS.

I remember it being marketed as the Freddy Mercury biopic and not seen Singer's name come up much. 20th Century and DOR (as one of the producers) should do the same with this film. First they must give it a title and avoid his name in the headlines and project it as the Bale-Robbie starrer. But i guess Russell is too much of an egotist to let that happen.

Will it even come out this year?? 20th Century Studios has already West Side Story and The Last Duel to push this year.
I wonder if it will get delayed to 2022.

I don't think The Last Duel will be an Oscar movie.

I don't think The Last Duel will be an Oscar movie. I mean, it'll probably be a strong contender for the techs, and Adam Driver and Jodie Comer feel like strong contenders for supporting nominations. It's not that much of a stretch for Picture in an expanded category.

Gold Derby says this is coming out in 2022 because they asked a studio about it.

This is what you get when you work with an asshole and probably a monster. I feel sorry for the hundreds of below the line workers who worked for this film but i hope it gets panned when it releases next year. Bale must learn something. He passes on Fincher and Mann to work with this guy again? what was he thinking? and Robbie too. There are many sane people in Hollywood who can get you that Oscar Margot.

Holy shit , I've just found out about this : Sexual misconduct allegation
In December 2011, Russell's 19 year old transgender niece, Nicole Peloquin, filed a police report alleging Russell had sexually assaulted her. The case was closed without any charges being filed because the alleged assault wasn't witnessed by police. According to the police report, Russell offered to help Peloquin with ab exercises during which his hand hovered above her private parts. After inquiring about the hormones she used to increase breast size Russell slipped his hands under her shirt and felt both breasts. Russell confirmed that the incident happened, but told police that Peloquin was "acting very provocative toward him" and invited him to feel her breasts. He also admitted to being "curious about the breast enhancement." This incident was also directly mentioned in the 2014 Sony Pictures Hack.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_O._RussellHad no idea that he was molesting teenagers ! How is he still getting any work ?

I wonder if the delay is because of the allegations (which are old news quite frankly) resurfacing, the fact that 20th Century Studios has already West Side Story and The Last Duel as their two main big pushes this year, or because the movie is just a mess (maybe all the three options)???

He passes on Fincher and Mann to work with this guy again? what was he thinking? and Robbie too. There are many sane people in Hollywood who can get you that Oscar Margot. Exactly. It’s one thing for struggling actors to work with someone scummy like him, but all of these actors are established and some already oscar winners. They just don’t care. It’s disgusting and disappointing bc I’m a fan of Bale and Robbie. Also Taylor Swift is in it, and I’m a huge fan of hers. She has absolutely no excuse because she’s not even an actor and is more powerful than every big name actor in the film. She went to trial to defeat a creepy man who groped her, was on the cover of the MeToo issue of Time magazine, proclaims herself as an ally to the LGBT community, is a feminist...but chooses to work with DOR. I’m disgusted and extremely disappointed

If you told me that trailer was a new Coen Brothers movie I'd believe it tbh. Great use of an awesome Rock song - "I'd Love To Change The World" by Ten Years After which is actually "bleeped" on my local classic Rock radio station because offensive words the dykes and fairies line and it was masked in the trailer for that line Good trailer

I think the movie looks like a bunch of fun and I'm loving the way DOR and Bale collaborate with each other. But it does seem to me that Lubezki was hired mainly for prestige value because visually it just looks like your typical DOR flick, just shot digitally and with an occasional sepia sheen.
