While American Bullshit continues to be the ‘David O. Russell project of the moment,’ there MIGHT be another one that everyone will soon be talking about. The Oscar-winner has allegedly signed up to both write and direct a feature called Legacy of Secrecy which is based on a Lamar Waldron-Thom Hartmann non-fiction book by the same name that tackles some pretty serious JFK conspiracies. This one has a Mafia godfather Carlos Marcello confessing to have ordered the hit on the president.
Interesting enough, Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert DeNiro appear to be on the board the project. DiCaprio’s involvement goes back to 2010 and he is said to be taking a long vacation from acting at this time. That said, I will believe it when I see it in regards to his involvement.

Russell film and the end of his reign as People Magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive.” 
The first trailer just landed for Silver Linings Playbook with Robert DeNiro, Bradley Cooper, and Jennifer Lawrence, so go ahead and take a look at David O. Russell’s follow-up to The Fighter. 
Alas, the Robert DeNiro psychological thriller that you have wanted since Taxi has arrived. Okay, maybe not, but it would certainly appear as if the legendary actor is prepared to put another solid effort under his belt with the release of Red Lights. The trailer for the feature just landed, so take a quick look to see if DeNiro playing a power hungry, world famous psychic might be your cup of tea.
