Bradley Cooper is busy starring in 20th Century Fox's movie version of The A-Team and he's also booked to star in The Hangover 2, but in-between those two jobs his schedule was open. So, in the interest of keeping Cooper's agent happy the star is now set to play a writer that tries out a new drug in Dark Fields, a thriller that Neil Burger (The Illusionist) will direct.

In the film Cooper plays Eddie, a New York scribe that starts to take a new drug that unlocks the full potential of his brain, granting him huge intellectual ability. While at first Eddie thinks that this is the ultimate high, when word spreads about the drug and what it can do dangerous people chase after him for control of the chemical.

The movie's script (written by Leslie Dixon) is based on a book written by Alan Glynn. Relativity Pictures will start filming next spring.
