The movie has resumed filming after stopping last week.
It looks like the movie that brought Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence to Swampscott earlier this month has a name. According to imdb.com, the movie is called American Hustle. Hustle was filming in Boston the week of April 15 but stopped as the city came to a standstill during the search for Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, according to the Guardian. Filming was due to resume on Monday, April 22, according to the news outlet.

Extras donning retro threads and parked Detroit-made cars made the scene on Humphrey Street on Monday but few stars appeared.
James Kelly was one of the few people around Humphrey Street who got a look at movie stars Monday. James, a Hawthorne restaurant employee, saw Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence inside the restaurant, he said. That's where the stars were filming the yet-to-be titled David O. Russell movie about the 1970s Abscam scandal— an FBI sting operation. Outside the fence of the Hawthorne parking lot Monday, a few dozen onlookers craned their necks and strained their sight from the sidewalk searching for stars. What they saw were extras dressed in leather, bulky jackets and plaid. They saw a parked '67 corvette, a '69 Impala and a '69 Caprice.

Filming for the 1970s Abscam scandal movie will take place on Humphrey Street.
The Hawthorne by the Sea/Anthony's Pier 4 and the far parking lot at Phillips Park were quiet early Sunday night. That quiet isn't expected to hold Monday morning when Hollywood action comes to the 153 Humphrey St. restaurant and 1970s cars are parked at Phillips Park. Humphrey Street will still be open to traffic Monday but the flow may be slowed if drivers pause and crane their necks to see what's happening on the movie set. The yet-to-be titled David O. Russell movie about the Abscam scandal is slated to shoot during the morning at the Humphrey Street restaurant. It's unclear how the stargazing will be, and whether any of the shooting will be outside the restaurant. The town administrator told selectmen last week that police will work…
