Amsterdam movie

Starring Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, and John David Washington, the film follows three besties who find themselves caught up in a caper in 1930s America.

Wait, Taylor Swift? According to Variety, Swift plays the daughter of the dead man whose murder is at the center of the plot. Neither her actor-brother Austin Swift nor her actor-boyfriend Joe Alwyn were involved with the making of this film. Who’s in it?

Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, John David Washington, Taylor Swift and Chris Rock are the many celebs in the new trailer for David O'Russell's 'Amsterdam.'

They enlist the help of De Niro’s character, who says his friend “was killed because of something monstrous he had seen,” and tells the gang that getting involved could cost him his life. Shannon, standing by him, claps for emphasis. “You don’t get here without things starting a long time ago.

Margot Robbie, Christian Bale, Robert De Niro, and Rami Malek also star in the film.

We now know that film to be Amsterdam, and you can watch its first trailer below. The crime drama also stars lead actors Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, and John David Washington, as well as Robert De Niro, Chris Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy, Mike Myers, Rami Malek, and Zoe Saldaña, among others. Swift’s prior acting credits infamously include in the maligned adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats, in which she played the character Bombalurina. She contributed the song “ Beautiful Ghosts,” a collaboration with Webber. Revisit “ Taylor Swift Can’t Escape the Pop-Star Bubble in Her Netflix Documentary Miss Americana.”

This Knives Out-like crime caper also stars Christian Bale, John David Washington, Robert De Niro, and others.

Like Rian Johnson’s 2019 hit, Amsterdam features an A-list ensemble cast; marries the serious with the eccentric, tonally; and centers around a mysterious death, which makes way for much bigger—and more startling—revelations. Margot Robbie, John David Washington, and Christian Bale star as the leading trio: a nurse, an attorney, and a doctor bonded by a deep friendship and a shared accusation of murder. While not affiliated with Knives Out in any official sense, David O. Russell’s highly anticipated film Amsterdam might well be a spiritual cousin of the star-studded murder mystery. The story is billed as “an original crime epic about three close friends who find themselves at the center of one of the most shocking secret plots in American history,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. What exactly that entails remains to be seen, but a rough outline of the film is present in the trailer, which depicts Robbie, Washington and Bale fighting to clear their names after they’re accused of putting “a dead white man in a box.”

The first trailer for David O. Russell's star-studded 'Amsterdam' crime film — with Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, more — has been released.

His other films include Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle. Amsterdam hits theaters Nov. 4. “We formed a pact and we swore to protect each other, no matter what,” Bale says, before revealing that the three friends are accused of killing someone, “which is not true.” The trailer, which opens with Rock’s character appearing perplexed at the three friends carrying a “dead white man in a box,” features a voiceover from Bale explaining how the three associates met, forged a bond and found themselves in Amsterdam.
