Directors tend to have a stable of actors they like to work with. David O. Russell likes to work with Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper. That's why they were in Silver Lining's Playbook and American Hustle together. It's no different then Tim Burton always working with Johnny Depp or Martin Scorsese always working with Leonardo Dicaprio.
If I'm understanding correctly, Serena was filmed before both of those movies but it's only now being released.
It's not that big of a deal. If you don't like it, there are hundreds of other movies to watch. I don't think three are taking away from the many actors working in Hollywood.
Guess what...they're working together again in David O. Russell's next movie, Joy.
