Christian Bale raises a glass in cheers with Harry Melling in the new trailer for their movie, The Pale Blue Eye.
The two actors star with Lucy Boynton, Gillian Anderson, Toby Jones, Harry Lawtey, Timothy Spall, and Robert Duvall in the 17th century crime drama movie.
Here’s the summary: West Point, 1830. In the early hours of a gray winter morning, a cadet is found dead. But after the body arrives at the morgue, tragedy becomes savagery when it’s discovered that the young man’s heart has been skillfully removed.
Fearing irreparable damage to the fledgling military academy, its leaders turn to a local detective, Augustus Landor (Bale), to solve the murder. Stymied by the cadets’ code of silence, Landor enlists the help of one of their own to pursue the case, an eccentric cadet with a disdain for the rigors of the military and a penchant for poetry — a young man named Edgar Allan Poe (Melling).
The Pale Blue Eye will debut in select theaters on December 23 before hitting Netflix on January 6.
If you missed it, some stars of the movie stepped out for a recent tastemaker event.
