I just wanted to say that for the Bale fans here, if you haven't seen The Prestige yet, I reccommend it! It's very twisty and thrilling. PLUS!, David Bowie! :) And I'm rather confident that I can also reccommend Harsh Times once it's released (this Friday 11/10), it looks like it will be yet another impressive role for Mr. Bale (some are reporting that it may be the role of his career, which seems unlikely when one consideres Trevor). I'd also like to reccommend Rescue Dawn but its release date is uhm, somehat elusive. In fact, we'll call it mythical. I've been dancing in my seat over this film for more than a year now!

As for the others, Trans Siberian is now on Brad Anderson's IMDB page, so I suppose that's official. Scott Kosar is said to still be working on that re-make of The Crazies, but more recently is supposed to be writing a version of The Bell Witch which may star Reese Witherspoon.

More Machinist related is this comment from Bale recently published in the Orlando Sentinel:

"My toughest piece of work, Machinist.... Maybe, now that I'm doing these bigger films, it will have a life and find an audience..."

And he says in another interview that he wishes he'd never answered any questions about his weightloss as it just sort of became "that skinny guy movie". Sad, really, because in a way it is true that the press have focused on his weightloss for the film, completely overlooking the brilliant performance, but it's too bad that fans haven't come out in force as they have with other films. That Newsies has a larger fanbase than this film confounds me. (Nothing against Newsies, mind you. *cough*)
