Terrence Malick is working with blazing speed. A mere five years after his last film, The New World, his next movie, Tree of Life, looks poised to premiere at Cannes. And then he’s going to get working on a whole new movie this fall. Yes, this means it’s not completely inconceivable that we could see two Malick films within a year or two of each other.
That would actually be Malick working at utterly unprecedented speed. Hell, a three year gap would be unprecedented. Two years or less is mind boggling. It’s like Takashi Miike speed.
The next film doesn’t have a title, but it does have a cast. Christian Bale will be playing some kind of glowering, unsmiling character. Rachel McAdams and Olga Kurylenko also star, and since the film is being called a romantic drama, I’m assuming Bale will be involved with one or both of them. I’d pick Kurylenko over McAdams in about two seconds. I don’t have to even think that over.
It’s the fall date on the new film that makes me convinced Tree of Life will be hitting Cannes as had been previously rumored. There’s no way Malick is going to start on a new film without the previous one being in the can and in theaters and in his rear window.

Yep, you nailed Christian Bale's acting pretty well in that write up.
I'm sure Rachel McAdams is heartbroken. But what if Olga only goes for guys that like to wear a nice keffiyeh with their Crocs? Will you change like Danny Zuko?
uh, i think you forgot to mention a small actor attached to the project: a relative unknown by the name of javier bardem
..we can assume McAdams will be the one showing her eyes all teary and red and Kurylenko will be showing her rocking body
Ah, Devin's back to the Bale bashing. His hate for Alpha's never ends.
Faraci until you shave, eat some fresh veggies and remove most of the black from your wardrobe, picking between the two will remain fantasy.
Terrence Malick. That's right, I said it!!
I read the whole thing. Where the hell is my Avatar?
Who wouldn't pick Kurylenko? McAdams looks used up, like she's had one too many nuts busted on her face.
Nonsense. Olga is hooker material….McAdams has much more class. BTW, I'm glad CHUD is a site where one can have such intellectual conversations regarding Terence Malick films.
Does Devin hate everyone who he thinks can beat he shit out of him? Saying bale is playing an unsimiling character is like saying Day lewis is playing an intense character, it's petty and simple and just childish. Grow the fuck up cunt.
SAY IT AIN'T SO DEVIKINS!!! My vagina will never be wet for another man again.
The New World was horrible and The Thin Red Line is still to this day one of the worst films I've ever laid eyes on.
My favorite part about "The New World"? The fact that Colin Farrell's character had access to hair care products and a stylist while all the other settlers were starving and had the plague.
Malick is the perfect barometer to identify cinematic poseurs. His films are as entertaining as a bag full of dicks and everyone knows it. Only a insufferable jerkoff would pretend to like this crap. If you have actually fooled yourself into thinking you like any of his films do yourself a favor and take up reading cause films ain't your forte!
what?! @ #13
Malick is God.
Not "like a film God."
He IS GOD.
He created the Universe.
Do not blaspheme his Holy Name.
(Just kidding. I can't stand people who think good cinematography = good filmmaking.)
Phew. Good thing all of the internet's most reliable arbiters of taste weighed in for this talkback so we know what to think about Terrence Malick.
