Bradley Cooper and Cate Blanchett among others in Nightmare Alley is hyped

Endeavouring to follow the suit of his Academy Award-winning title The Shape of Water, Guillermo Del Toro is back to thrill the grounds of Hollywood with Nightmare Alley. Dubbed as the biggest star-studded package of 2021, the psychological thriller includes Bradley Cooper in the role of protagonist. And, ever since photos are out from the movie, fans are finding it hard to keep calm.

Based on the novel of the same name, Nightmare Alley includes Cate Blanchett, Willem Dafoe, Toni Collette, and Richard Jenkins alongside Cooper and others in the lead role. The story revolves around Stanton Carlisle (Bradley Cooper), a popular mind reader, and Dr Lilith Ritter (Cate Blanchett), a psychiatrist. The duo, both trying their best to stink each other, embarks on a journey to create their world of duping people.

Searchlight Pictures, the distributor of the film, has just released photos from the set of the much-awaited movie of 2021. As shared by Vanity Fair, in one image Rooney Mara (playing Molly Cahill) is face to face with Bradley Cooper in a romantic setting at what appears to be backstage of a show.

In another image which appears to be set at a club/bar, Cooper and Blanchett can be seen standing hand in hand with each other, while Mara is standing close by looking anxiously at them. Copper and Blanchett also appear together in another photo inside a drawing-room giving amused smiles to each other. Further, Willem Dafoe (playing Clem Hoately), with cooper at his back, can also be seen down on his knees delivering shocked reactions in one photo which has the carnival as its location.

All in all, Bradley Cooper is the center of gravity in almost all the images that have been released so far. And, it can be safely assumed that he will be the show-stealer when the movie will hit cinemas on December 17^th of this year.
