The Pale Blue Eye is an upcoming American horror thriller film directed by Scott Cooper and starring Christian Bale...
Contrary to popular belief, the film is based on the 2006 novel of the same name by Louis Bayard, not Edgar Alan Poe.
The film features Christian Bale as Landor and Harry Melling as Poe, as well as a cast that includes Gillian Anderson, Lucy Boynton, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Toby Jones, Harry Lawtey, Simon McBurney, Timothy Spall and Robert Duvall.
Timothy Spall is the most important name in all this staff.
Because he is the world's largest collector of antique cameras and photographs, and Hollywood uses his archive in many movies and TV series, including the ones he plays.
For example, the costumes, make-up and background in The Last Samurai movie were created from the photographs in his collection... In fact, the machines that are constantly in his hand in that movie belong to him.
In this movie, the crew made use of his archive... which they were successful in.
The film reflects the darkness of the period beautifully.
It was released in select theaters on December 23, 2022, before being released by Netflix on January 6, 2023. The film received generally positive reviews from critics.
In February 2021, it was announced that Christian Bale would take part in the project. He loved the ballet role and worked hard... It is obvious that he even watched Raven in 2021 and From Hell in 2001 in some places.
The film is Bale and Cooper's third film together, after Out of the Furnace and Hostiles. Bale and Cooper also produced alongside John Lesher and Tyler Thompson.
On March 6, 2021, it was announced that Netflix had pre-purchased the rights to the film from the European Film Market for approximately US$55 million.
In June 2021, it was reported that Harry Melling will play as Edgar Allan Poe.
Filming began on November 29, 2021 at the historic Compass Inn in Laughlintown, Pennsylvania.
In December, filming took place at Westminster College in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania.
That month, it was announced that Gillian Anderson, Lucy Boynton, Timothy Spall, Fred Hechinger and Robert Duvall were involved.
Christian Bale is the one who specifically asked for Timothy Spall.
Pennsylvania Deputy Governor and Senator-elect John Fetterman and his wife, Gisele, are extras in a scene in the movie. Bale and Cooper became friends while filming Out of the Furnace in 2013 in Braddock, Pennsylvania, where Fetterman was the mayor at the time.
Bale said, "John has a great face, a bulky figure... And I said to Scott, 'We should have him on stage in the tavern... This man's face is a face that fits the 1830s.'
The movie, which was completed with a budget of 78 million dollars, will probably run in many festivals, especially gothic/horror festivals in the coming months.
