Josh Lucas thought Christian Bale was a “terrible” actor when the two first worked together on “American Psycho.”
During an interview with Vanity Fair alongside Chloë Sevigny, another “American Psycho” alum, Lucas admitted that he didn’t fully grasp Bale’s take on iconic character Patrick Bateman until later.
“I don’t know if you felt this way, but I actually truly remember thinking that Christian Bale was terrible,” Lucas said. “I remember the first scene I did with him, I watched him and he seemed so false — and I now realize that it was this just fucking brilliant choice that he was making. That was an actor who was at such a completely different level already, and that he was capable of having these crazy layers going on in what he was doing. I thought it was bogus acting at the time, but was exactly the opposite.”

Chloë Sevigny and Josh Lucas are looking back at working with Christian Bale in American Psycho.
The film, released in 2000, starred Bale as an investment banker by day but a serial killer by night. With Bale known for abiding by a Method acting process, Lucas and Sevigny recalled being intimidated by the actor.
“I don’t know if you felt this way, but I actually truly remember thinking that Christian Bale was terrible,” Lucas said in a conversation with Sevigny for Vanity Fair.

The so-called "MonsterVerse" is nowadays as silly as the original Toho "Godzilla" sequels became. The franchise's first entry, 2014's divisive but successful "Godzilla," looks downright anomalous. Directed with impeccable scale and craftsmanship by Gareth Edwards, the film exercises careful restraint, escalating the spectacle to make it more satisfying. The palette is made from smog and fire, i.e. what Godzilla and his monster adversaries (the MUTOs) leave in their wake. As star Elizabeth Olsen noted, the film is cut from the cloth of the original 1954 "Godzilla," where the eponymous monster is an allegory for nuclear destruction and natural disasters.
2014's "Godzilla" isn't perfect. It has a so-so script and Aaron Taylor-Johnson feels out of his depth as the lead (even if "The Fall Guy" proved he can be a movie star). Compared to the other MonsterVerse movies, though, it looks like "Jaws."
When Edwards' "Godzilla" went into production, the franchise was in a bad place.

There are ample reasons why Matt Reeves’ superhero flick with its noir edges and pensive tones instantly bewitched fans. From Robert Pattinson’s brooding Caped Crusader against the tragic backdrop of Gotham City and a rich, compelling storyline that highlights Batman’s detective side to the laudable production, The Batman was both a cinematic and commercial success.

But where Pattinson’s Bruce Wayne checked all the boxes and more, Barry Keoghan’s Joker seems to have fallen short. Or at least that’s what some moviegoers think.
How Barry Keoghan’s Joker in The Batman Differs From Past Versions
Unlike previous versions of the classic villain, Barry Keoghan’s Clown Prince of Crime in Matt Reeves’ The Batman has a congenital condition owing to which he cannot stop smiling. Not only that, but the Joker also has a more distinct facial scarring, which only accentuates Keoghan’s malformed look.

Christian Bale has scored quite a few remarkably successful projects as one of the best actors in the industry, and he hasn’t hesitated to perform immaculately in pretty much every single one of them either. But while all of them are commendable, perhaps none comes as close to perfection as The Dark Knight, helmed by the mastermind Christopher Nolan.

Besides quite literally being regarded as one of the best Batman movies created to date, the second titular movie in this film series also even holds a major record that would be hard to replicate for any other movie. The masterpiece stars such legendary actors with such impeccable acting chops that pretty much the entire main cast has been acknowledged by the Academy at least once.

When Christian Bale Shared His Experience Of Working With Christopher Nolan & Taika Waititi(Photo Credit – Instagram)
Christian Bale is one of the most celebrated actors in Hollywood who has worked with some renowned directors. He is also one of those actors who has portrayed the famous DC superhero Batman in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy and has also portrayed the Marvel villain Gorr the God Butcher in Thor: Love and Thunder by Taika Waititi. Bale once weighed in on his experience working with Nolan and Waititi. Scroll below to learn what he said.
Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy is among his highest-grossing films, whereas the fourth installment in the Thor franchise faced a huge backlash. Bale shared that there were differences between working with Taika and Christopher, and they had different approaches. DC is darker and gritty, while Marvel keeps things lighter even when the subject is intense.

Hollywood star Glen Powell’s recent career graph seems to be an indicator that the actor could become the next big superstar in the industry.

Robert Pattinson was known for most of his career as “The guy from Twilight“. The fame he got from playing Edward Cullen in the film series overshadowed every other role. However, the film’s infamous reputation also cast an undeserved shadow on his career as people only knew him as ‘Twilight Boy’ for many years.

However, he has proven that he is more than just a charming vampire in recent years. Pattinson auditioned with many other actors for the role of Edward Cullen for the first Twilight film. The audition process required the actors to be shirtless at one instance as mandated by director Catherine Hardwicke. When a reluctant Pattinson did so, Hardwicke instantly wanted him to put his clothes back on.

Christian Bale’s Batman will forever remain iconic. The actor perfectly captured the essence of the Caped Crusader and with Christoper Nolan’s help, was able to bring forth some of the best superhero films of all time. The Dark Knight trilogy set the bar so high that it is near-impossible for others to reach the height.

After all, there are years and years of history behind the superhero and we wouldn’t want to upset the die-hard fans now, would we? In order to bring their best out, actors improvise sometimes and while Christian Bale tried to do so once, Michael Caine brutally shut him down and the young actor decided that it was better for him not to argue back.

Steven Spielberg has an impressive portfolio of works in Hollywood. If fans get a closer look at his films, they can notice a pattern in them. Spielberg’s films are either great science fiction films or they’re set in the World War II period. The Jaws director once revealed the reason behind the recurring theme of World War 2 in his films.

This article contains spoilers for Hit Man.
“People are disappointed when they learn that hit men don’t really exist,” explains Gary Johnson. That might be a surprising statement given that it occurs early on in a movie called Hit Man. Throughout the film, Gary (Glen Powell) dons different disguises to meet with people who want to pay him money (or video games or boats) to kill people. But then again, it’s all a ruse, a police sting operation that mild-mannered teacher Gary does as a side gig.
As Gary explains, his job is to become the type of hitman that potential criminals imagine exists, so that he can embody that look and lure them into a state of safety. As smart as Gary certainly is, he doesn’t create these identities out of nothing. Rather he’s riffing on hired killers from pop culture history, which gives Powell...

Maggie Gyllenhaal has added another cast member to her upcoming take on The Bride of Frankenstein, and it's someone she knows very well.
In a new piece on the Spider-Man: Far From Home and Roadhouse star, THR reports that Jake Gyllenhaal has joined the cast of The Bride!, but don't reveal any details on his character.
Gyllenhaal (Maggie) recently took to Instagram to share the first ever production stills from the film, giving us a glimpse of Christian Bale as Frankenstein's Monster, and Jessie Buckley as the misunderstood creature's titular Bride.
We first heard about this project back in 2022 when it was being developed for Netflix, but a follow-up report indicated that the film had been shelved shortly after the Hollywood strikes got underway, and was being shopped elsewhere. More recently, we'd learn that Warner Bros. had acquired The Bride!, which is now set for a theatrical release on October 3rd,...

In the ever-expanding Star Wars universe, there are a few actors who have successfully captivated audiences with their heroic as well as villainous characters and their journeys across galaxies far, far away. Yet, among the iconic figures and celebrated performances, there exists an underrated gem, discovered by the acclaimed filmmaker Steven Spielberg.

Before being hailed for his shocking transformations and commendable versatility, Christian Bale started as a child actor with not many roles in his now accolade-brimming career. Thanks to one of Hollywood’s most influential filmmakers, the English actor soon found himself on the path to fame after being cast in Steven Spielberg’s Empire of the Sun.

Christian Bale’s reputation as a method actor precedes him. He’s the kind of actor who doesn’t shy away from diving into the grittiest, most challenging aspects of his roles. Whether it’s consuming maggots and pig offal or enduring intense physical transformations, Bale’s dedication knows no bounds. However, when it comes to firearms, Bale draws a firm line.

Road House star Jake Gyllenhaal has reportedly joined Maggie Gyllenhaal’s remake of The Bride Of Frankenstein.
Here’s a fun addition to a production that we’re keenly following: Jake Gyllenhaal has reportedly found his way to London where he’s joined the cast of The Bride!, the upcoming reimagining of The Bride Of Frankenstein. The film is being directed by his sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal and already boasts an exciting ensemble cast.
Along with Jake Gyllenhaal, the cast now comprises the considerable talents of Christian Bale, Jessie Buckley, Annette Bening, Penelope Cruz, and Peter Sarsgaard. Honestly, for all of its many flashy casting announcements, we don’t think that even Ria Johnson’s latest Knives Out film, Wake Up Dead Man, can compete with that.
The film is said to be a a reimagining of James Whale’s 1935 classic The Bride Of Frankenstein and will see ‘a lonely Frankenstein...

Glen Powell has been acting since he was a kid but did not get that required breakout role for a long time. Many fans didn’t know he was in Spy Kids 3D, The Great Debaters, and The Dark Knight Rises. He also had supporting roles in acclaimed films in the 2010s like Hidden Figures and Everybody Wants Some!!.

Who knew we’d see the words Batman and Donald Trump in the same sentence, let alone in the same room?
Back when Christian Bale was filming the last segment in Christopher Nolan’s internationally hailed The Dark Knight trilogy, the English actor had a bizarre yet interesting encounter with the former President of the United States.

The voice acting in both Red Dead Redemption titles is some of the best in the gaming industry. As the entire sector shifts towards becoming more cinematic and immersive, this level of quality is essential for games to maintain the high standards people have become accustomed to.
As such, it’s always great when voice actors and motion capture specialists state that they have gotten so immersed in their roles that they find it hard to break out of them. This appears to be the case with Rob Wiethoff, who voiced the much-loved John Marston.
John Marston’s Actor Found It Difficult to Switch Between Reality and Red Dead Redemption It’s easy to lose yourself in the Wild West.
Method and immersive acting practices are quite common in Hollywood. Jared Leto, Christian Bale, and the late Heath Ledger are popular proponents of this practice. But this isn’t only with on-screen actors.

Soon after the birth of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with 2008’s Iron Man, DC Studios kick-started its own live-action universe, starting with Zack Snyder’s 2013 film Man of Steel. However, a multitude of reasons eventually led the Dceu to a slow death. All of it culminated with a James Gunn and Peter Safran takeover in 2022 that spawned hopes for a revitalized future for the production house. The Suicide Squad director, as of now, has his eyes fixed on the upcoming Superman movie that will spearhead the future of the franchise.

Christian Bale’s versatility as an actor knows no bounds. Throughout his career, he has starred in some extremely successful films, gaining a reputation as one of the most talented and critically acclaimed actors of all time. From being the face of a haunting Marvel villain to an American psycho, he has moved audiences through his acting, be it in the flesh or through his voice acting.

Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy has been regarded as one of the best adaptations of the character to date. Fans adore all of the decisions taken, even if some changes deviate from the original story, and the filmmaker’s individual style perfectly shines through the three films.
Although he has been credited for the creative decisions taken in the series, several people helped contribute to making a series as successful as this.

Glen Powell is arguably the most in-demand actor in the industry right now. The actor has been working in the industry for many years but his career catapulted to new heights with his breakout role in Top Gun: Maverick. The actor further proved he could lead a successful rom-com with Anyone But You last year, reinvigorating the audience’s interest in seeing romances in theatres.

Robert Pattinson shocked the world when he portrayed the role of Bruce Wayne aka Batman in Matt Reeves’ 2022 film, The Batman. From being remembered solely as Edward Cullen in Twilight to portraying the DC superhero, Pattinson had quite the jump.

Nowadays, horror filmmakers do everything they can to surprise the viewers who are tired of standard jumpscares. Therefore, for every Annabelle, which is a typical horror film based only on gore effects and all sorts of jumpscares, there is The Babadook, which attracts with its oppressive atmosphere and psychological story.
Exactly 20 years ago, a movie was released that didn't aim to scare the viewers at all, but that's exactly what it did.
Without jumpscares, creepy dolls, or evil ghosts, The Machinist, starring Christian Bale, is considered one of the most uncomfortable and frightening movies you'll never want to see a second time.
“It is extraordinarily harrowing watch, and one that I would describe as being truly uncomfortable,” Reddit user PriestofJudas wrote.

Method acting is a controversial topic, mostly due to the bad rep this kind of preparation has gotten due to the ridiculous things someone like Jared Leto does or the absurd physical transformations actors like Christian Bale go through. But not all extensive acting prep requires an actor living as their character. Sometimes, it's just weeks or months of research that get tossed out the window on a whim if the director has something different in mind.
Still, when you hear about the lengths an actor goes to in order to prepare for a role, you don't normally hear it being said about Santa Claus. It's true, though: Kurt Russell is so committed to the art of cinema he gives Santa the kind of preparation and research normally reserved for the work of William Shakespeare.

Christopher Nolan is among the most celebrated movie directors of our time, having tapped into various genres throughout his fruitful career, from mind-bending neo-noir detective thrillers to space sci-fi operas to biography dramas and many others.
Funnily enough, despite his broad directing range, some people still recognize Nolan primarily for The Dark Knight trilogy, his sensational take on Batman’s story. But little did we know that the director didn’t even want to make its final installment at all!
Nolan Resents Third Movie Installments
While Christopher Nolan has always been vocal about not being interested in the superhero genre —- which is amusing coming from the man who created one of the best superhero adaptations ever — it wasn’t his general attitude to the genre that almost kept him from making The Dark Knight Rises. It was something rather weird.

Zack Snyder’s take on the DC superheroes divided fans for a long time before the universe finally came to an end. Snyder fans loved his characters above all others but many DC fans pointed out the lack of comical accuracy in the Rebel Moon director’s projects. Snyder’s take on Batman during a recent podcast has fans convinced that he may not have understood the comic character very well.

Snyder controversially shared that Bruce Wayne indulged in a lot of bad habits due to his trauma. When the character is introduced in the films, he has already lost his family and numerous friends. Snyder built the character on this trauma alone which many fans don’t agree with.

David O. Russell was having a moment about a decade back, with a series of releases that Made him a director well worth paying attention to. The highlight was American Hustle, a black comedy focused on crime and corruption. It boasts a strong cast, led by Christian Bale, Amy Adams, and Bradley Cooper, but nearly stealing the show was Jennifer Lawrence, still in the early stages of her career.
The film, out now in a new 4K Steelbook format from Sony Home Entertainment, is well worth a look if you missed it in 2013. A year earlier, Cooper and Lawrence danced their way into our hearts with the charming Silver Linings Playbook, and Russell brought them back for this caper, pitting them against one another.
Cooper is an FBI agent who forces con artists Bale and Adams into creating a sting operation intending to take down the May of Camden, New Jersey.

The transition from good to evil has fascinated writers for centuries. Forcing characters to dance on the line of morality has always intrigued audiences more than two-dimensional characters with simple moral compasses. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is well-known for administering such dilemmas to their viewers through the characters they make.

Be it Kilmonger in Black Panther, Thanos’ noble motivations to wipe out half the universe, or the execution of the Punisher’s justice, it is difficult for fans to condemn some villains when their motivations are so complex. Despite this, there are a few characters that have stayed consistent over the years, even though the law would disagree.
Five of the main six Avengers have managed to always have a strong moral compass, ever since the 2011 film, and these traits have stayed consistent. However, it would seem that their actors have played parts that juxtapose their iconic roles.

Brie Larson may not be the most popular actress in a superhero suit around, but her advice to every actor who takes on such a role is noteworthy. Larson shared that she would reach out to these actors via email to give them insights into the training for the role and particularly costume advice. Handling a spandex is not an easy job as a superhero actor and Larson knows it enough to share her two cents on the matter.

In 2008, the mastermind genius of Kevin Feige and John Favreau, combined with the unmatchable acting prowess brought forth by Robert Downey Jr. gave birth to one of the most profitable global franchises, the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In the world of superheroes, Spider-Man has had a special place in the hearts of fans worldwide. His agility, web-swinging powers, sixth sense, and relatable persona as Peter Parker have made him a beloved figure in the genre.

Glen Powell is perfectly acing his game in Hollywood two decades after starting his career, thanks to his recent pieces that have finally granted him his breakthrough: Everybody Wants Some!! and Top Gun: Maverick. But while people know him now, they don’t know how 2 actors from Avengers: Endgame accidentally helped him transform into the massive superstar he is today.

These two stars were none other than two of the three Chrises in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Chris Pratt and Chris Hemsworth. Through the development of their roles, the duo reportedly greatly inspired Powell to mold himself in a way that everyone would love him. And that most certainly seems to have worked, considering how Powell is the star everyone is talking about today!

Ben Affleck’s tenure as Batman has long come to an end, and with James Gunn heralding a new era of heroes and villains through the revamped DC Universe, fans are wondering who will take on the mantle.

Many actors have shown interest in the role, and each of them has something to offer. However, only the best and most fitting for the part will get to wear the Batsuit. Apart from Alan Ritchson, Winston Duke and Jake Gyllenhaal also want to have their own Batcave.

Martin Scorsese’s war with Marvel seems to be over as filmmaker George Lucas recently revealed that the director might have eased his opinions about the MCU. The Departed filmmaker came under fire back in 2019 when he compared Marvel with theme park rides and said that they were not cinema, sparking controversy and a bunch of memes.
While the filmmaker was commenting on the lack of originality in Hollywood and how the only films getting made were superhero films, many fans took issue with him insulting their beloved franchise. However, the director seemed to have calmed down about the issue, according to George Lucas.

Despite a historically accurate reading of Hollywood’s storied past, great directors and filmmakers make it their business to break and set records with their career’s work. Christopher Nolan is invariably one such director who continues to defy the laws of physics in his films just as he manipulates the laws of human psychology when it comes to breaking box office records.
However, it is rare to find a combination of good filmmakers with complete artistic and creative taste who don’t eventually fall prey to the studio system. Return on investments and profit guides the business models of modern-day Hollywood and to keep making films, it becomes imperative that directors, creatives, and actors all fall in line with the company policy.

Christopher Nolan and The Dark Knight Trilogy are two peas in a pod, and people know it quite well. Finding fame and love for giving the world Christian Bale’s Batman alongside Heath Ledger’s Joker, Nolan created a unique version of Batman that the world didn’t expect.

Have you ever found yourself questioning the future success of an up-and-coming star, only to be later delightfully proven wrong? That was precisely the case with The Dark Knight star Christian Bale, who, after watching Matt Damon’s performance in Robert Mandel’s School Ties, harbored doubts about the latter’s prospects in Hollywood.
In a candid GQ interview, Bale reflected on a time when his own career seemed to be in a lull, revealing how he wasn’t quite convinced that Damon, despite his evident talent, would achieve fame. For Bale, the realization came quickly, but just “three days” later, while watching Good Will Hunting, it led him to the undeniable conclusion: talent combined with perseverance is a force to be reckoned with!

Imagine a constellation of stars—not in the sky but arrayed across the shimmering surface of a Vanity Fair cover. Who could outshine the radiant glamour of Matt Damon and Tom Hanks when gathered with their companions in this vintage picture of 13 iconic Hollywood A-listers in 2003?
2003’s Vanity Fair special on the ‘Kings of Hollywood’ showcased some of the most prominent faces in the industry, including Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Jack Nicholson, Harrison Ford, and Brad Pitt. However, it was not until you delved further into the magazine that you discovered the other eight actors in the picture.

While Christian Bale and Robert Pattinson may have their fair share of fans as Batman, for Jennifer Garner, there is no debate: Ben Affleck is the best superhero. The former couple first met on the set of Pearl Harbor, but it wasn’t until they starred in Daredevil together that their friendship blossomed into romance.
The chemistry between Affleck and Garner on screen was palpable, but it was their real-life connection that truly strengthened their status as a Hollywood power couple. From their fairytale wedding in 2005 to the birth of their three beautiful children, the ex-pair seemed to have it all.

Matt Damon made his Hollywood debut in 1997, as Will Hunting in the Oscar-winning movie Good Will Hunting. Since then, he has made appearances in many other movies, including the hit action franchise, Bourne. After five movies, one of which Damon missed out on, the series took a break. But now, it looks like things are back in gear.

According to Matt Damon, director Edward Berger of All Quiet on the Western Front has an idea for the next instalment of the Bourne franchise after fans thought we had come to an end with Jason Bourne in 2016. But given Damon is currently 53 years old, it would be quite the task for the actor to reprise the role of the spy. And we already know he is not doing at least one thing in the move if it ever happens.
