This Bale drops out of Ferrari newsbite from Vulture is worth the whole read! Christian Bale Drops Out of the Enzo Ferrari Biopic Because He Couldn’t Safely Gain the Weight in Time The hunk we deserve, but not the one we need right now. By Jackson McHenry
Christian Bale, who has made a career out of transforming his body to match nearly every role — obsessively training for American Psycho and Batman, losing an extreme amount of weight for the The Machinist and The Fighter, and putting on excessive pounds for American Hustle — has finally found a challenge that’s too extreme: getting out of shape. According to Deadline, Bale has dropped out of Michael Mann’s Enzo Ferrari biopic due to health concerns, specifically that he felt he couldn’t safely gain the necessary weight before the film went into production this spring. And if Christian Bale isn’t the right weight — probably down to the milligram (he’s Welsh, after all) — Christian Bale doesn’t do the part. Despite Bale’s departure, Enzo Ferrari is set to shoot as scheduled, and Paramount and Mann are on a last-minute hunt for a less-fit actor for the lead role. The munching noise you hear in the distance is the sound of thousands of aspiring leading men gorging on donuts.

Michael Mann has found his replacement for Enzo Ferrari in Hugh Jackman! According to Deadline: They have loosely been discussing this teaming for months, and now things are starting to move for a summer 2018 production start. _____________ Hugh Jackman would be decent enough and most likely noteworthy for awards contention if nothing goes wrong.
