Christian Bale Cast In Yet Another New Terrence Malick Film
Posted on Friday, August 19th, 2011 by Germain Lussier
After directing only four movies in almost forty years, you could never call Terrence Malick a busy filmmaker. That’s completely changed in the last few months. He released The Tree of Life earlier this year, is currently in post-production on an untitled romance starring Ben Affleck and Rachel McAdams and he’s still attached to a long-rumored project called Voyage of Time. As if that wasn’t enough, Twitchfilm reports he’s just cast Christian Bale in yet another movie that’ll start shooting in early 2012. Read more after the jump.
According to Twitchfilm, this movie (which may or may not be Voyage of Time) has a much smaller cast than the Affleck film. Instead this one is centered on just a male and female lead. Bale is the male and the same report says Malick is deciding between Rooney Mara, Haley Bennet, Clemence Poesy and Mia Wasikowska for the female
Bale was originally cast in the untitled romance before he was replaced by Affleck, so you can tell that Malick is a fan. And after the huge scale of The Dark Knight Rises, it makes sense that Bale would want to do something smaller and different. Who better than Malick to take that ride with?
This is an interesting time for Malick fans. The Tree of Life is a highly polarizing film and we know too little about the Affleck/McAdams movie to make any guesses about its quality. Now, with at least a third film on deck, is Malick’s spurt of creativity a good thing or will he burn himself out? Also, if he releases a new film every year for at least three years in a row (assuming the romance and this film are released in 2012 and 2013 respectively) does it take away from his mystique? Or will that be judged by the quality of the films?
Are you excited to see Bale go back to the smaller films or do you feel he’s better served in blockbusters?

Yeah...I read about it. I'm weirded out how Malick is making movies more often. Not...used to it.

Yeah much prefer him in smaller films.
I'm excited to see Malick working hard to make us all forget about the Tree of Life.

If Malick wants to direct Christian Bale, why didn't he take on the latest DARK KNIGHT film? That would have been pretty interesting.

lol...
on a serious note...I heavily doubt WB would let that happen. Or Nolan for that matter.

I've always been curious about what Malick did when he wasn't making his 4 films in 40 years and it turns out it was practically nothing. He worked on a handful of scripts, but that's about it.
He's as big a recluse as there's ever been (apparently he doesn't even let marketing use his likeness to promote his films, nor does he ever give interviews), so what in the world was he doing? Just sitting around at home? Badlands and Days of Heaven couldn't have made him a lot of money, so I can't figure out how he paid his bills for 20 YEARS in between Heaven and Thin Red Line.
I have to admit I was impressed to learn he graduated summa cum laude from Harvard, was a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford, and taught at MIT. Genius.

why does he always cast these stone-faced astronaught looking actors. like richard gere, colin ferrel, ben affleck, brad pitt. it's like he wants them as movie star statues, while he focused on the grass

I believe he taught at University of Texas during his "absent period". What's always surprised me is that Kurbick used to catch all kinds of shit for being a "recluse", but he would occasionally do interviews when he had a film coming out and he would let pictures of himself be made available. Malick is the invisible man, he talks to no one, there are only a few pictures of him, he has himself cut out of making of docs shot on his sets, etc. And yet he catches almost no shit for it. I don't disparage either man for wanting their privacy, but Kubrick got pilloried over the years for it and Malick gets a pass even though he's infinitely more reclusive. I'll never understand it.

Snake, you did not go to UT nor have you seen Malick in person. No need to lie.

I didn't go to UT for school..that'd be UNT. I did however see Malick while I was visiting UT, he was doing a lecture there...a fact I found out afterwards.

Lawless (2013, D. Terrence Malick) - Mara, Gosling, Portman, Bale
This is an interesting next film for Malick. Just came upon this because last night for SXSW, The Cult was putting on a free show and they were apparently shooting a scene for this movie. I've heard nothing about it and IMDB lists this as still in pre-production.
Synopsis is listed as "Two intersecting love triangles. Sexual obsession and betrayal set against the music scene in Austin, Texas."
