Philly-filming Robert De Niro/Bradley Cooper movie gets release date

Horror flick site Bloody Disgusting is reporting that Neil Burger's Dark Fields, starring Jenkintown's own Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro will be released in March 18, 2011. As the gossip hounds have reported, the film will be shot here, but shooting doesn't begin until May, so don't be surprised if that date changes. The Playlist has a good description of the flim's plot up:

The film, starring Bradley Cooper, Abbie Cornish and Robert De Niro, will center on a writer (Cooper) whose dependency on a designer "viagra for the brain" drug hits a stumbling block when his stocks dwindle. The writer must then venture into the drug's dark past to feed his habit all while suffering the drug's side effects of sanity-splitting headaches, spontaneous blackouts, violent outbursts. De Niro will play financial mogul pursuing Cooper while Cornish role is still unknown, presumably a love interest for Cooper.

They also report this little tidbit, that I didn't know: "The film will also feature a phenomenon called "trip-switching" where time moves with a stop-motion quality which will be interesting to see on the big screen. Once a Hollywood-dumping ground for movies that couldn't survive the Award Season crush, March has become somewhat of a coveted spot as of late because of the success of movies like 300, which could gain traction despite the lack of star power that would most likely lead to a lukewarm summer opening. Then again, Paul Greengrass' Green Zone was moved to March for this reason and it did terribly at the box office. RELATED >> Bradley Cooper promises he's not an asshole
