scott cooper talked a little about the project in a recent interview. there's less than a month to go until filming starts so i'm eager to hear who else is in the cast.

Filming for “The Pale Blue Eye” is taking place this week and into next for the Netflix movie, which stars Academy Award winner Christian Bale and features fellow Oscar winner Robert Duvall, among others in a star-studded cast. The movie is also set to film at McConnells Mill State Park and in Somerset County. It is based on the 2006 Louis Bayard novel of the same name in which a young cadet’s body is found swinging from a rope, then later is found to have had its heart removed. In comes a New York City detective who must solve the case in quiet so as to not cause a scandal. The detective, Augustus Landor (Bale), finds help from and forms a fatherly bond with a young cadet named Edgar Allan Poe (Harry Melling). The filming so far has been on the campus quad, though the New Wilmington school has signs directing actors and other equipment. Temporary lights have replaced the lampposts and some sidewalks have been covered as classes are still in session. Still, the weight of a major motion picture being filmed is not lost on the student body. “It’s cool to see how they transformed campus in a matter of days,” said Alex Hough, a freshman and hometown Wilmington Area High School graduate. “The fact that Christian Bale is here is mind-blowing.” Actors are seen in light blue military uniforms. Bale wears a black top hat and sports a beard. The Welsh actor is known for his dramatic physical changes in his movies – he bulked up with muscle to portray Batman in “The Dark Knight” trilogy and also dropped about 30 pounds to 145 for his portrayal of Dicky Eklund in his Oscar-winning role for “The Fighter.” He ballooned to around 220 pounds to portray Dick Cheney in 2018’s “Vice.” Jack Dockum, a sophomore from Rochester, New York, said it was interesting seeing all the behind-the-scenes interactions. Actors could be seen going from the set to warming vans or grabbing snacks. “We are pleased to have been a part of this project and particularly happy that some of our students have had the opportunity to participate as extras or in technical support areas,” Westminster College President Dr. Kathy Brittain Richardson said. “We look forward to seeing our campus scenes in the film.”"

Some reactions that came out after the LA Screening mentioned in the last post: By World of Reel www.worldofreel.com/blog/2022/11/pa4q4s0fsaaap07yg864iwnv9eba1w"“The Pale Blue Eye” screened last night for a select few. The reactions are mostly positive, but, to tell you the truth, not many takes have come out on social media. Here are the very few: Zoë Rose Bryant (Next Best Picture): The Pale Blue Eye is a genuinely gripping whodunit that also functions as an origin story of sorts for Edgar Allen Poe, played here to perfection by a mesmerizing Harry Melling, who holds his own against the commanding Christian Bale. Predictable at points, until a TERRIFIC twist. Rama Tampubolon (Freelance): THE PALE BLUE EYE was a terrific detective story. Dark, clever, & harrowing with a twist I did not see coming. Great costume design, hair & makeup as well, but the best part of them all was Harry Melling’s superbly delectable performance. Brian Davids (THR): If you're a fan of Christian Bale & Scott Cooper's past films, then you're going to love 'The Pale Blue Eye.' It's a gothic murder mystery that's beautifully made and well acted, featuring a compelling partnership between Bale's P.I. character and Harry Melling's Edgar Allan Poe. There are also a handful of reviews on Letterboxd, almost of them positive." |

Full tailer released:
And a great one, dare I say. I haven't felt so thrilled for an upcoming Bale release since FvF.
