interesting: Christian Bale Next Role? The Villain in Spike Lee's Remake of 'Oldboy'?

Christian Bale is not taking any time off after Batman.  The role of the Caped Crusader has vaulted him to the top of a lot of lists I would imagine. His acting chops have never been in question, more the issue was around could he carry a tentpole as the lead. Well, we know the answer to that now.

FirstShowing has a great breakdown of the roles he is considering. There are plenty of opportunities out there however there is one that I am keeping my eye one.

Recently, Spike Lee has landed the opportunity/curse of remaking the epic and genius Oldboy. Recently, they had a version where Steven Spielberg and Will Smith attached (which I have been on the record to say was a horrible idea). Oldboy is one of those untouchable gems that Hollywood just should not touching.

Yet here we are.

Spike Lee is a great director so in his hands it might not suck as much as I am afraid it will.

Now we have news that Christian Bale might be considering the role for of the Villian. Without giving too much away about the story, that is a great fricken idea. Like through the moon fantastic.

I still hate the idea of an Oldboy remake, but with these choices that are being made about it so far, I am holding on to hope.
