Scott Cooper’s follow-up to his Oscar-winning drama CRAZY HEART is an all-different affair as he swaps a personal drama for a character driven revenge ensemble. Christian Bale leads the all-star thriller OUT OF THE FURNACE, which sees his struggling factory worker pushed to breaking point when his brother disappears.
We’ve a brand new trailer and poster for the film co-starring Woody Harrelson, Casey Affleck, Forest Whitaker, Willem Dafoe, Sam Shepard and Zoe Saldana.
From Scott Cooper, the critically-acclaimed writer and director of Crazy Heart, comes a gripping and gritty drama about family, fate, circumstance, and justice. Russell Baze (Christian Bale) has a rough life: he works a dead-end blue collar job at the local steel mill by day, and cares for his terminally ill father by night. When Russell’s brother Rodney (Casey Affleck) returns home from serving time in Iraq, he gets lured into one of the most ruthless crime rings in the Northeast and mysteriously disappears. The police fail to crack the case, so—with nothing left to lose—Russell takes matters into his own hands, putting his life on the line to seek justice for his brother. The impressive cast of Christian Bale and Casey Affleck are rounded out by Woody Harrelson, Forest Whitaker, Zoe Saldana, Sam Shepard and Willem Dafoe.
OUT OF THE FURNACE is released in the US on the 6th December and the UK 31st January 2014.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
