These are shots of Bradley Cooper and Abbie Cornish in New York filming scenes that involve lots of running for director Neil Burger’s upcoming thriller Limitless.

Based on the book by Alan Glynn, Limitless is the story of a struggling copy-writer (Cooper) who finds financial success after stealing an experimental pharmaceutical drug called MDT-48 that makes people smarter, but slows down their perception of time.

Cornish plays Cooper’s wife in the film. Robert De Niro costars as the heavy out to get Cooper’s character. Check out this gallery:
