In advance of the release of American Hustle, the highly-anticipated new film from director David O. Russell, Madison Gate Records, the in-house record label of Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, will release American Hustle - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, a collection of music from the film, as a worldwide digital album on Tuesday, December 10, 2013. The physical album will be released on Tuesday, December 24, 2013.

American Hustle - Original Motion Picture Soundtrackpremieres "Stream Of Stars," a previously-unreleased song from the legendary Jeff Lynne (Electric Light Orchestra, Traveling Wilburys) and brings together an array of evocative 70s classics including Wings' "Live And Let Die," Donna Summer's "I Feel Love," Elton John's "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", the Bee Gees "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart", and more. For the film, the music was overseen by Music Supervisor Susan Jacobs.

The American Hustle - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack digital album will be available on iTunes (http://smarturl.it/amhustle_itunes) on Tuesday, December 10, 2013.

Columbia Pictures' and Annapurna Pictures' American Hustle opens in New York and Los Angeles on December 13, 2013 and nationwide on December 20, 2013.

A fictional film set in the alluring world of one of the most extraordinary scandals of the 1970s, American Hustle tells the story of brilliant con man, Irving Rosenfeld (Christian Bale), who along with his equally cunning and seductive partner, Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams), is forced to work for a wild FBI agent, Richie DiMaso (Bradley Cooper). DiMaso pushes them into a world of Jersey powerbrokers and mafia that's as dangerous as it is enchanting. Jeremy Renner is Carmine Polito, the passionate, volatile, New Jersey political operator caught between the con-artists and Feds. Irving's unpredictable wife, Rosalyn (Jennifer Lawrence), could be the one to pull the thread that brings the entire world crashing down. Like David O. Russell's previous films, American Hustle defies genre to tell a story of love, reinvention, and survival. The film is directed by David O. Russell, written by Eric Warren Singer and David O. Russell, and produced by Charles Roven, Richard Suckle, Megan Ellison, and Jonathan Gordon.
