Christian Bale is in demand. With
The Dark Knight breaking the billion-dollar mark and Bale getting ready to relaunch
The Terminator franchise, he could very well become the
Harrison Ford of this generation [at one point, Harrison Ford was in seven of the top ten highest-grossing films of all time].
After portraying the future John Connor in
Terminator Salvation, Bale will portray Melvin Purvis, Special Agent with the FBI in
Public Enemies,
Michael Mann's Depression-era gangster pic, also starring
Johnny Depp.
In an interview with
Entertainment Weekly, Bale had this to say about filming the famous FBI raid on the Little Bohemia Lodge in Wisconsin:
"I fired so many bullets in those woods in the middle of the night, I was literally tasting metal for a week afterwards."
Of course, the fans at ComicBookMovie.com are more concerned about Bale's return to the cape and cowl in a sequel to
The Dark Knight than they are his turn as a G-Man. So, what's the deal, Bale? Bale told
TotalFilm.com:
"Will we do a third movie? It's got to be the right story. You can't make something like The Dark Knight and then come out with something disappointing. I would like it if people say, 'You'll never make a good third movie.' I say, 'OK, let's make a third movie in that case, let's prove them wrong. But that's just me. The fact is, I have to! I've signed up! Chris doesn't. So I'm in a bit of a fix if he says he doesn't want to!"
After
Public Enemies, Bale will star in
Bryan Singer's Prisoners alongside
Mark Wahlberg.
Catch Bale in
Terminator Salvation May 23rd and then in
Public Enemies July 1st!
