Christian Bale is still at TIFF promoting his upcoming film
Ford v Ferrari, and while walking the red carpet he was stopped by Entertainment Tonight, who mentioned that Joaquin Phoenix's
Joker would be screening just a few hours later.
"
Oh, he's here. Joaquin is one of the best actors around. Obviously, I worked with Heath and it's a brave thing to follow up that performance but he always makes really interesting choices. I'm dying to see it, I wish them the best with that."
Before Bale could depart, he was quickly asked if he's been in touch with Robert Pattinson, who's set to launch his own
Batman trilogy with director Matt Reeves.
He hasn't [been in touch], but I think he's a fantastic choice," said Bale
as he echoed a statement he made yesterday on Pattinson's casting.
As luck would have it, Pattinson was cast as The Dark Knight while in the middle of filming Christopher Nolan's
Tenet, so while he's yet to seek out advice from Bale, one of the first people he spoke to about the role was Nolan.
