Spotted at the Austin City Limits Festival over the weekend were Malick, Christian Bale, actress Hayley Bennett (the subject of previous Malick-related rumors), and a camera crew. (Collider has video from the filming, which is basically just Bale wandering through the crowd.) Hmmm! Could they have been filming for the upcoming, as-yet-untitled Malick-Bale reunion movie? And if so, what could this tell us about the plot? In addition to a Bale-bongo solo during the Fleet Foxes set, the trio were spotted backstage with Bright Eyes, Pretty Lights, and Coldplay, so a Mylo Xyloto screen adaptation is not totally out of the question. Or maybe Conor Oberst will try to reinvent himself (again) as a sensitive actor? Most important: How will Malick’s enthusiasm for Toto fit into the movie? The world waits. [Collider]
