Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger Get Flirty in 'Case 39'

Should Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger have a "full-on relationship," or just a "purely physical" one? The real-life couple gets flirty on-screen in a scene from their new supernatural thriller 'Case 39,' in theaters Friday, and we have a sneak peek!

"He's a great actor, great actor," says Renee of Bradley. "I just got so excited, not believing that I was going to go to work with him."

"Can't say enough about her," raves Bradley of his co-star. "I never met her before this movie, but I just love her. I love coming to work. I love acting with her. I can learn so much from her."

'Case 39' finds Renee as Emily, a family services social worker in Oregon whose worst fears are confirmed when she discovers that the parents of 10-year-old Lillith (Jodelle Ferland) try to kill their only daughter. Emily takes Lillith in and enlists the help of psychologist pal Doug (Bradley) as she searches for an ideal adoptive family for the bruised little girl. But soon, dark, supernatural forces surrounding Lillith become apparent, and attempts to protect her invite an even greater horror…

"It's so fun to be scared," says Renee. "It's so fun to go and see a film that manages to make you uncomfortable, and yet you don't want to walk away from it; you still want to watch it and have that experience."

Directed by German horrormeister Christian Alvart ('Pandorum'), 'Case 39' also features "Deadwood" star Ian McShane.
