Russell is not only the director, but also contributes the original screenplay. Three-time Oscar winner Emmanuel Lubezki (“The Revenant”) is doing the camera work. Furthermore, it can already be reported that the work has been shot – filming took place in Los Angeles in spring 2021.
The German theatrical release of “Amsterdam” is planned for 3 November 2022. If the film convinces critics and audiences, it could possibly play an important role at the Oscars in 2023, after all, David O. Russell’s films are always in demand at the most important award ceremony.
