Christian Bale wants to adapt another J.G. Ballard novel

[Diesel]

as much as i love bale in the batman movies and probably will love his role in terminator, his non-blockbuster movies are where his talents are more on display
he is a great actor and not just "the guy that plays batman"
his smaller movies are great (like Equilibrium, All the Little Animals)
the guy can transform into his roles, you always see the character and not bale
unlike a tom cruise or a will smith where you see them and not the character they are portraying
not that they aren't good actors of course, i really like Will Smith, tom cruise not so much

anyway
i'll watch just about anything with bale's name attached to it
so if he gets this thing made i'll be there opening weekend

also, this dude just doesn't stop!
batman begins/the new world/harsh times in 05, prestige/rescue dawn in 06, 3:10 to Yuma/I'm Not There in 07, TDK in 08, Public Enemies/Terminator in 09
