John David Washington Joins Christian Bale & Margot Robbie In Untitled David O. Russell Film

Deadline is reporting that John David Washington has joined Christian Bale and Margot Robbie in David O. Russell’s new film for New Regency. The pic doesn’t have a title or a logline, but the site states that production will start shooting in Los Angeles in January.

Three-time Oscar winning cinematographer Emmanuel “Chivo” Lubezki also is aboard. The project is based on an original idea from Russell, who returns to the director's seat for the first time since 2015's Joy. New Regency will produce, and Matthew Budman will also produce. The film will be distributed via New Regency’s deal with 20th Century Studios.

Washington, whose big screen breakout came in the Spike Lee-directed BlackKklansman, is currently onscreen starring in the Christopher Nolan-directed Tenet, and he also stars with Zendaya in the Sam Levinson-directed/scripted drama Malcolm & Marie.
