Christian Bale Will Re-Team With Brad Anderson for Concrete Island

Nick Martin August 5, 2011 Add a Comment
Christian Bale As confirmed by both ShockTillYouDrop and a We Got This Covered Brad Anderson, taught us that Christian Bale will be working on Concrete Island. The Machinist and The Crazies writer Scott Kosar is adapting. Anderson (Session 9) who is now promoting his new film Vanishing on 7th Street, finishing in September, revealed the script will be based of a novel of the same name by J.G. Ballard (a twisted adaptation of “Robinson Crusoe”, in fact), which is centered on a man named Robert Maitland, a wealthy architect who ends up stranded on a man-made island with his only resources being what he came to the island with. There was no word on how different the screenplay would be versus the novel.
Hopefully we can get that one going soon, too, but that depends on Christian's schedule. He's had quite a year, you know,”
said Anderson. Before began his film career, Andreson was majored in anthropology and Russian and it was not surprising that “The Machinist” was made under the influence of Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Even The Third Man from “The Machinist” and ready to team up again on “Concrete Island”, writer Kosar, states that he was influenced by Dostoyevsky's “The Double: A Petersburg Poem”. Furthermore, his most recent Vanishing on 7th Street (2010) was about survivors of a seemingly global blackout. Formerly in 2009 Anderson has been set to direct a feature based on the epic and terrifying graphic novel “The Living and the Dead”, likewise NIN (Nine Inch Nails) singing: “Your devils and your Gods, all the living and the dead”. That industrial rock band gave tribute to “The Machinist” as well. We'll see if they'll be attached to the Anderson's new projects as well as were Kosar and Bale and should we recognize the smell of Dostoyevsky in “Concrete Island” scenes. Christian Charles Philip Bale, who co-starred in the 2010 drama The Fighter, for which he won a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 2011, is actually acting a John in The 13 Women of Nanjing and also a Batman in The Dark Knight Rises pre-productions. The film would be the second time Bale has starred in a Ballard adaptation (Steven Spielberg‘s Empire of the Sun was the first one) and, of course, the second time Bale has stared in an Andreson movie (“The Machinist”) Stranded in the middle of a highway? A limited supply of food? Looks like once Bale has done with “The Machinist” and The Rescue Dawn (2006), he is going to go back on his diet of tuna and an apple. And some of posted pics demonstrate how the actor plays yo-yo with the scales.
