Knight of Cups Trailer – First look at Christian Bale in Terrence Malick’s film

December 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

While Terrence Malick likes to take his time with films, there’s a chance we’ll be getting two 2015, as he shot a couple of movies back-to-back, the first of which, Knight Of Cups, will premiere at the Berlin Film Festival. And now we have a trailer for the film.

As you’d expect from the director of The Tree Of Life and To The Wonder, it’s not a typical movie, as it was shot with no script, allowing the cast to improvise to Malick’s direction. However as the trailer shows, it does look like something a little different, with more energy, modernity and than we’re used to seeing from the helmer.

There’s no real synopsis, but the great cast includes Christian Bale alongside Natalie Portman, Cate Blanchett, Jason Clarke, Joel Kinnaman, Joe Manganiello, Brian Dennehy, Antonio Banderas, Freida Pinto, Wes Bentley, Isabel Lucas, Teresa Palmer, Imogen Poots, Armin Mueller-Stahl and the voice of Ben Kingsley.

The other Malick movie mentioned above doesn’t have a title yet, but it shares quite a few of the same actors and is set against the music scene. [Read more…]

Natalie Portman Joins Two Terrence Malick Flicks

February 9, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Natalie Portman won an Oscar for Black Swan and then promptly stopped making movies so she could be a full time mum for a while, but now she’s getting ready to go back to work, as Deadline reports she’s signed on to both of director Terrence Malick’s new movies, which are due to shoot back to back this year, called Knight of Cups and Lawless.

These are the first movies she has committed to since Black Swan (although she;s also contractually obliged to star in Thor 2).

Knight of Cups will start shooting this summer and already has Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett and Isabel Lucas attached to star. Lawless begins production in the fall and is set to star Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, Rooney Mara, Cate Blanchett, Haley Bennett, and Justin Wheelon. As is the case with most Terrence Malick projects, no story details have been released for either movie.

Two New Terrence Malick Flicks Announced

November 2, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago some images popped up online of Terrence Malick (The Tree Of Life) shooting a film with Christian Bale at the Austin City Limits festival. It was a bit of a surprise as nobody knew anything about the movie, and Bale was supposed to be shooting Dark Knight Rises at the time.

Now it’s been revealed what they were up to, well, sort of. While Malick is renowned for his slow pace of work – five films in 38 years – he’s speeding up massively as Variety says he’s planning to make two movies, both starring Bale and Cate Blanchett (that’s in addition to The Burial, which features Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Javier Bardem and Rachel Weisz, which he’s already shot).

The film that was partially filmed at the festival will be called Lawless and has a great cast besides Bale and Blanchett, with Ryan Gosling in the lead role, alongside Rooney Mara and Haley Bennett. The other movie is titled Knight Of Cup, and will also feature Isabel Lucas.

That’s all the info we’ve got unfortunately, which leaves a lot of questions open. There’s no news on the plots, but the most intriguing possibility is that the movies will be linked together. The films will shoot back-to-back next year, and it would seem more than possible therefore that Bale and Blanchett will be playing the same characters in both movies. Whether that true is yet to be revealed.

Malick loves dripping everything in secrecy, and the only reason we know this much is because the company behind the films is looking for sales at the American Film Market. So while it’s all incredibly intriguing, don’t expect everything to become clear for a while yet.
