Vulture:
Bradley Cooper may be best known for starring in The Hangover, which has become the biggest comedy franchise of all-time (he's current negotiating a $15 million payday to return for a third installment), but outside of that series, the newly minted A-lister has shown a laudable commitment to making low- to mid-budget dramas. In addition to last year's Limitless and this year's Sundance entry The Words, Cooper recently shot Derek Cianfrance's The Place Beyond the Pines and David O. Russell's The Silver Linings Playbook, and Vulture hears that his next project will be in the same vein: an adaptation of the period novel Serena, which will reteam him with his Silver Linings co-star Jennifer Lawrence.
