Robert De Niro Speaks On His Role In David O. Russell’s Abscam Drama
Apr 9th
Talking to Empire Magazine, Robert De Niro shed some light on his involvement in David O. Russell’s as-yet-untitled (formerly titled ‘American Bullshit’) Abscam project. The Oscar winning actor explained he’ll be playing a man immersed unwittingly in the corruption exposed by a late ’70s FBI sting. “My character is a guy who comes in and represents the whole gambling thing, trying to help them work it out. Unwittingly, he’s also being used. He’s legitimate, in that he can do casinos, but he’s also connected to the underworld.” So a fixer of sorts? “Right.” De Niro continued, “It’s the story of how the government prosecutor went after federal politicians. They were taking bribes to allow the legalisation of gambling in New Jersey.” Expect a complex world of sleaze and corruption, in other words. “I’m still learning about it myself,” laughed De Niro.
