Limitless is a 2011 American thriller film directed by Neil Burger and stars Bradley Cooper, Abbie Cornish, and Robert De Niro. It is based on the 2001 novel The Dark Fields by Alan Glynn. The film is scheduled to be released in the United States and Canada on March 18, 2011.
Limitless is based on the 2001 novel The Dark Fields by Alan Glynn. The film is directed by Neil Burger based on a screenplay by Leslie Dixon, who had acquired rights to the source material. Dixon wrote the adapted screenplay for less than her normal cost in exchange to be one of the film's producers. She and fellow producer Scott Kroopf approached Burger to direct the film, at the time titled The Dark Fields. For Burger, who had written and directed his previous three films, the collaboration was his first foray solely as director. With Universal Pictures developing the project, actor Shia LaBeouf was announced in April 2008 to be cast as the film's star.
The project eventually moved to development under Relativity Media with Universal distributing through Relativity's Rogue Pictures. By November 2009, actor Bradley Cooper replaced LaBeouf in the starring role. Actor Robert De Niro was cast opposite Cooper by March 2010, and The Dark Fields began filming in Philadelphia the following May. Filming also took place in New York City. Burger described the premise, "The whole movie is a ride, a kind of fever-dream crazy story constantly going off the rails. It's about the nature of power and what I'm willing to do to get that power." By December 2010, The Dark Fields was re-titled Limitless.
