Even though he is known for being rather reclusive and hidden from the media, renowned director Terrence Malick has allowed word to get out of his latest project. Deadline Hollywood is reporting it will host a star studded cast including,”no less than Christian Bale, Javier Bardem, Rachel McAdams, and Olga Kurylenko.” The untitled feature is slated to begin shooting this autumn and is currently being described as a romantic drama.
Producers include such names as Nicolas Gonda, Sarah Green and Bill Pohlad. Hollywood Wiretap has released a statement from the producers saying, “We are delighted to be part of this extraordinary team; everyone involved brings a unique perspective to this powerful and moving love story.” The film will be sold and distributed internationally by FilmNation Entertainment. CEO Glen Basner threw in a personal remark about the director, adding, “Terry is easily among the greatest and most influential filmmakers of our time. It’s an honor to work with such a visionary. FilmNation is thrilled to help bring his next work to a global audience.” It’s hard to disagree considering Terrence is behind the ’70s classics Badlands and Days Of Heaven.
Malick’s latest film, The Tree of Life, starring Brad Pitt and Sean Penn, will be released later this year.
