The two played feuding in-laws in their last film together - the boxing drama The Fighter.
But Christian Bale and Amy Adams turned up the heat on the set of their new venture with director David O. Russell in his yet-to-be titled film shooting in Boston, Massachusetts, on Friday.
In the movie the actors play lovers caught in a tumultuous triangle with Bradley Cooper.

The 39-year-old Batman star was seen sporting a comb-over and a few extra pounds as he walked side-by-side with the auburn haired actress.
The American Psycho actor wore brown wingtips and a polyester suit for the evening shoot.
He also donned tinted glasses and a thick vintage tie while his naturally thick hair was thinned into a noticeable receding hairline.

Amy, 38, was dressed in a more flattering costume than her normally hunky co-star.
The Julia & Julia star was the epitome of Seventies cool in a knee length fur lined patchwork trench coat.
While her toned legs were hidden in creamy loose fitting pants and high heeled boots.

The pair were dressed in 1970s attire for the currently untitled film documenting a real-life American scandal that exposed national corruption involving five U.S congressmen - codenamed by the FBI as Abscam.
Christian plays Melvin Weinberg, a conman turned government agent at the center of the FBI's famous Abscam sting operation in the Seventies that ultimately led to the conviction of a number of American politicians.
Amy, 38, portrays Maxine Gardner, Weinberg's co-conspirator and mistress in the film.

Director David O. Russell told The Playlist that the film is: 'a crime drama that's really about some very high end financial con artists who are very colorful, strange characters.'

He promised that both Amy and Christian are: 'going to do things we haven't seen them do [before] in this movie.'
And the director revealed that audiences have more than a little romance to look forward to in the historical drama: 'There's a love triangle between Amy, Bradley and Christian. And Jeremy [Renner] and Christian have kind of a very unexpected bromance because they're very similar New Jersey, New York type characters, so they really take to each other.'
Russell continued to explain: 'Bradley's going to be like you never saw him. Christian will be... I don't want to give too much of it away but they're all playing real life characters from the ‘70s and they're very intense in an insane drama.'
But this is not the first time Amy and Christian have shared the screen - the pair co-starred in Russell's 2010 boxing drama The Fighter.
The Enchanted actress played girlfriend to Mark Wahlberg's champion boxer Micky Ward - younger brother to Christian's prize fighter Dicky Ward.
And Bradley - recently seen on set of the Abscam project sporting hair curlers - starred in Russell's last film the Oscar nominated Silver Linings Playbook.
