Christian Bale and ‘The Pale Blue Eye’ is Coming to Netflix
The Pale Blue Eye by Louis Bayard has brought together Scott Cooper and Christian Bale once again. The two have worked together on Hostiles and Out of the Furnace in the past. Now, the Bayard novel has brought them together once again. It didn’t take long for this pairing to be a thing before Netflix came in and bought the film for $55 million.
The synopsis for The Pale Blue Eye book goes like this:
At West Point Academy in 1830, the calm of an October evening is shattered by the discovery of a young cadet’s body swinging from a rope. The next morning, an even greater horror comes to light. Someone has removed the dead man’s heart. Augustus Landor—who acquired some renown in his years as a New York City police detective—is called in to discreetly investigate. It’s a baffling case Landor must pursue in secret, for the scandal could do irreparable damage to the fledgling institution. But he finds help from an unexpected ally—a moody, young cadet with a penchant for drink, two volumes of poetry to his name, and a murky past that changes from telling to telling. The strange and haunted Southern poet for whom Landor develops a fatherly affection, is named Edgar Allan Poe.
can’t say I blame Netflix for their interest. Cooper, Bale are a great team and a murder investigation picture with Edgar Allen Poe its center sounds pretty dang fantastic.
We are looking forward to this one and to find out who they will cast to play Edgar Allen Poe.
