Christian Bale Already Shooting Terrence Malick Mystery Project?

Though The Dark Knight Rises is still in the midst of principle photography, it looks as though Christian Bale has already moved onto his next project with acclaimed director Terrence Malick (The Tree of Life). The duo was spotted filming scenes at a Bright Eyes concert during Austin City Limits yesterday.

At this time, it is not known what this Terrence Malick Mystery Project is about, or what these scenes pertain too. The pair were also seen shooting footage at concerts for Coldplay and the indie band Pretty Lights. This has lead to speculation that the project will be about the music industry in some capacity. According to IMDB, Terrence Malick is planning a production about legendary Rockabilly pianist Jerry Lee Lewis, who was already immortalized on film by Dennis Quaid in 1989's Great Balls of Fire!. It seems unlikely that Christian Bale would also be trying his hand at Jerry Lee Lewis, but its not impossible. But then, that begs the question, why are they filming at present day shows? Only time, or a really good scoop, will tell. Check out the image of Christian Bale and Terrence Malick as they begin work on what looks to be Terrence Malick Mystery Project below.

Lawless comes to theaters in 2013 and stars Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, Rooney Mara, Cate Blanchett, Haley Bennett, Justin Wheelon, Natalie Portman. The film is directed by Terrence Malick.

    @daveactor7 I will admit, my attack on mallick was a bit much, but i had just seen tree of life and was pissed off. but, this is an attack on me. you came out and insulted me, when I had done nothing to you. and "smart" words? I wasn't trying to be smart. I was just using words. and you want to know whats hilarious? someone who still can't figure out how to tag. and I cuss because that's how I express anger. that's why I didn't cuss in this comment. because I'm not angry at this point, maybe a bit, but mostly I'm just confused by you two. you guys are the ones that need to calm down. and what exactly was the assumption in your comment? I am confused about that as well.

    @TheBoondockSaint thats not called attacking -_______- thats called assumption. If you dont like Malick then dont curse him out don't waste your breath. @XxNickTheFilmCriticXx is right. You need to relax. Don't curse either because that doesn't help at all.

    @XxNickTheFilmCriticXx So now you are saying that he DID attack me? so now you're contradicting what you were saying before. what exactly is your standpoint on this? because now you're switching it up in a way that makes no f*cking sense.

    @combatmadness360 -- I am not kidding you, but the attack wasn't relentless, as cyber bullying or such might've been.

    @XxNickTheFilmCriticXx .....................are you f*cking kidding me? are you trying to say that you think that him saying " Was X-men origins Wolverine better to you?" was actually a legitimate question??? and an insult on why I didn't like the film? first off, if he insults me, ofcourse i'm gonna defend myself, and second off "for one who has Deadpool as his pic." is not a close minded view as to why I didn't like it, its a stupid f*cking attack on me because I didn't like a stupid f*ckin' movie. I am baffled at these things you are saying. he didn't attack me? are you f*cking kidding me?

    @combatmadness360 -- He didn't attack you! He might've insulted you with a close-minded view on why you may not have liked it it, and asked a question.

    @XxNickTheFilmCriticXx i'm lashing out for no apparent reason? @daveactor7 directly attacked me. I am confused as to why the f*ck I am some how the bad guy here. and I will say again, don't tell me to chill. some jerk off like daveactor directly f*ckin' attacks me, and I'm being told to chill? Goddamn, I thought this was one of the few internet community's that wasn't full of *ssholes.

    @combatmadness360 -- Terrance Malick never said that, you obviously interpretated his work incorrectly. You're defending yourself from what? You're directly lashing out for no apparent reason. Chill, dude!

    @daveactor7 lol. did you really just start out that argument by seeing "who has a deadpool pic?" are you serious. ahhaha. your incompetence made my day. and because I find his film pretentious, that makes me stupid? hahaha, oh the world we live in. and learn how to tag, you f*cking idiot.

  17. The Boondock Saint

    @XxNickTheFilmCriticXx really? you find it okay for this *sshole to come in and say "I don't have to make an actual movie. why? because I'm me, bitch!" because thats what tree of life is. it is not a film. there is no plot. there are people in it, but they are in no way, shape or form, characters. and why did he make this film? because he can. and are you trying to same I'm pretentious because I don't fall for that bullsh*t? because I don't suck mallicks dick?

    @combatmadness360 -- Really? I heard it was a great movie-if so, who cares if it's pretentious? I don't get agitated by pretentious directors, only pretentious viewers. Albeit, I may be a little pretentious with my critiquing in films, but to an extent.

    I would really like to hear more news about the other Malick Untitled Project. He should have it completely done already right? if he's already moved on with this.

    @TheBoondockSaint for one who has Deadpool as his pic. Its quite obvious why you would consider it the worst movie of the year. Was X-men origins Wolverine better to you?
