Since the third Batman movie hitting theaters this summer, there have been speculations as to what Christian Bale’s next project is.  Rumor has it that Bale will star in a new “revenge drama” directed by Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart).

This film has been in the works for a few years, but was originally known as The Low Dweller.  Last year, Bale was set to star under the direction of Rupert Sanders, but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.  We’re glad that he may be coming back to the film!

Below is a brief synopsis, provided by The Hollywood Reporter:

[Out of the Furnace] centers on a man released after serving four years in prison. His hopes for a peaceful homecoming are thwarted when he sets out to find the man who brutally murdered his younger brother to avenge his death.

With Bale hopefully taking on the role, production is likely start in the spring before The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters.

Also speculated to star in the film is Robert Duvall, who was cast in Crazy Hearts.
