[Himmel]

Christian Bale and director Scott Cooper are set to make their third film together. Bale will star in Cooper’s scripted adaptation of the Louis Bayard novel The Pale Blue Eye. Cross Creek, coming off the Golden Globe-nominated The Trial of the Chicago 7, is financing and producing. CAA Media Finance and Endeavor Content are co-repping domestic distribution rights at EFM, with MadRiver handling international sales.

Thriller revolves around the attempt to solve a series of murders that took place in 1830 at the US Military Academy at West Point. Bale will play a veteran detective who investigates the murders, helped by a detail oriented young cadet who will later become a world famous author, Edgar Allan Poe.

Bale will produce with Cooper, John Lesher and Cross Creek’s Tyler Thompson. The plan is to shoot in the fall. ¥
