Jennifer Lawrence Joined By Twilight Hunk In New David O. Russell Movie

Jennifer Lawrence has been joined by Boardwalk Empire star Jack Huston in David O Russell's latest movie.

The Silver Linings Playbook director has reunited Lawrence with Bradley Cooper for the project, now known unofficially as the ABSCAM Project which will also star The Master's Amy Adams, Batman star Christian Bale and The Avengers' Jeremy Renner.

English hunk Huston has found fame on HBO's gangster show, playing deadly but sensitive World War I vet Richard Harrow, who struggles to recover from a horrific injury he sustained while serving.

The actor, who's the nephew of Addams Family actress Anjelica Huston, will also be familiar to fans of Twilight, as he played Royce King in Eclipse, the fiance of Cullen family member Rosalie Hale before she became a vamp.

Huston will next be seen alongside Daniel Radcliffe in Beat generation thriller Kill Your Darlings, but is also now set to star in the Russell film alongside Jennifer Lawrence.

Following the infamous ABSCAM scandal, in which FBI agents trapped politicians into partaking in corruption, the movie's provisional December release date could mark it out as a major Oscar contender.

It also won't be the first time Jen has worked with a dapper English actor before; she had a romance with her X-Men co-star Nicholas Hoult that ended in January this year.
