The Pale Blue Eye Showbiz and Celebrity Breaking News

Edgar Allan Poe turns detective in “The Pale Blue Eye,” an 1830s-set Gothic mystery that explores the writer’s formative years at the West Point military academy in upstate New York.  Written and directed by Scott Cooper, who adapted Louis Bayard’s novel of the same name, the Netflix film (streaming on January 6) stars Christian Bale as Augustus Landor, a hard-bitten detective haunted by a past tragedy.

It’s clear that Christian Bale is the type of actor who loves to collaborate with specific filmmakers multiple times over his career. He’s done that with Adam McKay, David O.

“The Pale Blue Eye” marks the latest collaboration between Christian Bale and Scott Cooper. The two have previously worked together on “Out of the Furnace,” which was met with massive critical praise for both talents, while their previous collaboration, “Hostiles,” wasn’t as well-received.

It has been almost a full decade since the release of 2013’s “Out of the Furnace,” the sophomore film from filmmaker Scott Cooper and the first time he and Christian Bale collaborated on a feature.
