Amsterdam movie

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.”

I had to hit a lady with a brick one time,” she recalls. “We find ourselves in a situation where we’re accused of killing someone which is not true,” Bale’s character explains. “We formed a pact and we swore to protect each other — no matter what,” Bale’s character says.

Somehow, the impressive ensemble cast of David O. Russell's Amsterdam movie has flown almost completely under the radar.

It doesn’t even have a top on it… “Not even a casket. According to Deadline, it boasts the “rock-and-roll absurdist vibe and high jinks” of Russell’s American Hustle.” Which isn’t the worse comparison to draw.

Taylor Swift is making a return to the big screen, for the first time since 2019's Cats, in Amsterdam. Christian Bale, Robert De Niro and Margot Robbie also ...

But still, her getting the same billing as supporting cast members Shannon et al gives us hope that we'll see quite a bit of her in the film. Plus she'll be working with the very best in the business, so that's got to count for something. Swift has only really dipped a toe into the movie-making pool in the past, bringing her musical talents to Cats (her songs in that movie were the only ones that slapped) and appearing only briefly in rom-com Valentine's Day and drama The Giver. Amsterdam – a comic-twinged, period murder mystery – looks like an ideal setting for her to flourish as an actor, with an opportunity to flex both dramatic and comedic chops.

Much of the buzz around Amsterdam surrounds its star-studded cast. “This is turning out to be a lot larger than any of us,” Robbie’s character, Valerie, says. The high-stakes mystery leads them to meet danger, drama, and other A-listers along the way, including a friend of the deceased played by Robert De Niro. The trio met in Amsterdam during the 1910s, forming a pact to protect each other “no matter what,” Bale’s character, Burt, says during the trailer. David O. Russell’s newest film Amsterdam caters to all mystery-lovers out there and is coming to theaters before the end of the year. Set in the early 20th-century, Amsterdam seems to be an action-packed period piece that unravels into a gripping whodunit.
