British actor Christian Bale, next to be seen playing The Dark Knight in the final film of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy this summer, has rejoined Scott Cooper‘s revenge drama Out of the Furnace after dropping out last year.
Out of the Furnace follows a man released from prison after serving four years. While he initially hopes to stick to the straight and narrow, his plans for a quiet life are ruined when he decides to find out who murdered his younger brother and avenge the man’s killing.
Formerly known as The Low Dweller when Brad Ingelsby handed in his script back in 2008, the film originally attracted directors such as Ridley Scott and Rupert Sanders as well as attracting interest from Mark Wahlberg to feature.
With Scott now producing through his banner Scott Free alongside Leonardo DiCaprio‘s company Appian Way, Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart) has been confirmed as the film’s director after picking up the project last April, which he has been re-writing to suit his needs, with Bale set to star.
