Last time director Brad Anderson and actor Christian Bale collaborated together was the cult hit thriller called THE MACHINIST (2004). That movie was particularly noteworthy for Bale's shocking transformation of his stick-thin physical transformation. Now they are back to collaborate for the second time in an upcoming movie adaptation based on JG Ballard's novel CONCRETE ISLAND. Here's the synopsis below.
Los Angeles, 2020. Robert Maitland is a highly successful architect. One day, he speeds down the freeway losing control of his car and crashing into the middle of a manmade 'island' underneath a freeway intersection. After days of suffering agonising physical pain and the mental turmoil, he begins to suspect that he may not be the only person on the 'island'. When his fellow inhabitants finally reveal themselves, it soon becomes clear to Maitland that on this 'concrete island', only the strong survive.
Sounds like an intriguing premise to check out for. In the meantime, check out the first teaser poster for CONCRETE ISLAND below.
