角色：John Rolfe

去年年初，Christian Bale 本來要參與現在後製中的 Terrence Malick 的電影，後來就又傳出他角色被 Ben Affleck 取代。應該是因為『金陵十三釵』以及 TDKR 的檔期而推掉 Terrence Malick 大導的電影。Terrence Malick 與 Christian Bale 在 2005 年上映的 "The New World" 中已經合作過一次，"The New World" 中 Christian Bale 是飾演配角，他是寶嘉康蒂的丈夫 John Rolfe，出場時間大概只有一般版電影的最後四十分鐘。Terrence Malick 導演拍戲似乎是很隨心所欲的，而 Bale 似乎也是比較喜歡這樣的拍攝模式，那種不知道攝影機到底在哪邊拍的攝影模式。可能在那段的合作中，Malick 與 Bale 有了良好的默契，所以在去年的那部電影沒了合作機會後，在網路上發表的這則尚未確認的消息中又傳出 Malick 想找 Bale 的消息。
Malick 是個不多產的導演，也因此讓我對這則消息抱持著一些懷疑。加上他總是用很漫長的時間做後製，所以即使這則消息為真，若他還是以過往的工作方式做事，我們要看到這部電影可能得等個四、五年也說不定呢！
Malick 的作品的藝術味道很重，即使要表現略顯殘酷的現實，他仍會以畫面優美來引導。在他的鏡頭下的 Christian Bale 非常地有氣質。很希望他們兩人可以再次合作！

Well, now. Terrence Malick may have been out of the public eye for the lengthy gap between
The New World and
The Tree Of Life but he clearly was keeping busy. A notorious perfectionist seemingly as well known for the lengthy gaps between his films as for his films themselves, Malick has been on a tear lately and the rapid pace of new projects is not slowing down any time soon.
After directing only four feature films between 1973 and 2010, Malick may very well end up doubling his total career output in 2011, 2012 and 2013 alone.
When Malick returned to the big screen with his Cannes-winning
The Tree Of Life fans were already buzzing about his as-yet untitled
other new movie, one already shot and in post-production starring Ben Affleck, Jessica Chastain, Rachel McAdams and Rachel Weisz. Well, that one's coming out in 2012 and he's got another already gearing up to shoot.
Twitch has learned that Malick has just cast Christian Bale to take the lead in another as-yet untitled project due to shoot in early 2012. Malick and Bale's interest in one another is already a matter of public record - Bale was initially attached to the project currently in post and was later replaced by Affleck and the two worked together previously on
The New World - so while the fact that Malick already has another project gearing up comes as a surprise the fact that he would look to Bale for the lead does not.
Our sources also tell us that this will be a much smaller cast than the project Malick currently has in post, the story driven by a pair of dominant leads, one male and one female. Word is Malick is currently making a decision between a quartet of young actresses - Rooney Mara, Haley Bennet, Clemence Poesy and Mia Wasikowska - for the female lead. The presence of producer Sarah Green on the project means this
may be the previously rumored
Voyage Of Time, but given that
Voyage is already a known title and this has gone out as untitled means they are most likely two separate projects.
Oh... My goodness..........
