Gillian Anderson, Robert Duvall, and More Cast in Scott Cooper's Edgar Allen Poe Netflix Film THE PALE BLUE EYE
Writer and director Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart, Out of the Furnace, Antlers) has added a bunch of new actors to the cast list of his upcoming Netflix film, The Pale Blue Eye, which is based on Louis Bayard’s 2006 novel of the same name. The story is a Gothic thriller that he’s been looking to make for more than a decade.
The new cast members include Emmy winner Gillian Anderson (The Crown), Lucy Boynton (Bohemian Rhapsody), Charlotte Gainsbourg (Antichrist), Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Toby Jones (First Cow), Harry Lawtey (Industry), Simon McBurney (Carnival Row), five-time BAFTA Award nominee Timothy Spall (Mr. Turner), Hadley Robinson (Moxie), Joey Brooks (Molly’s Game), Brennan Cook (Encounter), Gideon Glick (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Fred Hechinger (The White Lotus), Matt Helm (The Tragedy of Macbeth), Steven Maier (The Plot Against America), Charlie Tahan (Ozark), and Oscar winner Robert Duvall (The Judge). They join the previously announced Harry Melling and Christian Bale.
The film “centers on a young cadet the world would come to know as Edgar Allan Poe (Melling) and a series of murders that took place at the United States Military Academy, West Point, in 1830.”
In his third collaboration with Cooper, on the heels of the critically acclaimed films Hostiles and Out of the Furnace, Bale will portray the detective tasked with investigating the murders. No information has been disclosed, as to the roles the film’s new cast members will play.
This is an incredible cast, and it sounds like a fascinating story. I love Edgar Allen Poe, and I think this sounds like it will make for a great film. Stay tuned for more info regarding The Pale Blue Eye.
