‘Out of the Furnace’ Draws ‘The Fighter’ Comparisons As Producers Talk Pittsburgh Shoot; To Arrive Fall 2013
22 May 2012 8:30 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
The drama Out of the Furnace seems like a hot commodity right now. It sports a stellar cast that includes Christian Bale and Casey Affleck in the lead roles, and Zoe Saldana, Willem Dafoe and Woody Harrelson in the supporting cast, as well as backing from celebrity production companies like Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way and Ridely Scott’s Scott Free. The film is currently being shot in western Pa, and on Sunday, executive producer Jeff Waxman, producer/production coordinator Julie Hartley, and various crew members spoke at a Pa Film Industry Association meeting in Pittsburgh, giving some insight to the project. We were there and one can see details below.
During the talk, Waxman repeatedly compared the film to The Fighter, which also featured Bale in an Oscar-winning performance. In past reports, Furnace was said to have a “No Country For Old Men vibe,” so this new development changes some expectations. »

Rooney Mara, Casey Affleck, and Ben Foster set for Ain’t Them Bodies Saints
2 May 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
The Oscar-nominated Rooney Mara (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), who’s recently returned to her recognisable self during the filming of Soderbergh’s The Bitter Pill, has a slew of upcoming films on her schedule, and word of a new project has surfaced that really has me interested.
Deadline report that Mara, Casey Affleck (Gone Baby Gone), and Ben Foster (The Messenger) are all attached to star in David Lowery’s Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, which has been written and will be directed by Lowery, and is described as a modern-day story in the vein of Bonnie and Clyde.
Lowery took the Grand Jury Award for his short film, Pioneers, at SXSW last year, and developed the script for Ain’t Them Bodies Saints last January at the Sundance Writers Lab, and with such a strong cast attached to star, this is definitely something to keep an eye on. »

Here's a small casting update on Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper's follow-up film, Out of the Furnace. According to Deadline, Willem Dafoe has joined the stellar A-list cast in an unspecified role. The revenge thriller stars Christian Bale as a former criminal who, upon his release from prison, must decide whether to get revenge for his brother's (Casey Affleck) murder or to marry his girl (Zoe Saldana). Guess which one he chooses? Woody Harrelson has already locked down the role of the villainous Mr. DeGroat, the man responsible for the gambling racket that Affleck gets caught up in. Sounds awesome to me. More below! Dafoe is just the latest in a long line of great actors to join this project, including Sam Shepard as the brothers' uncle and Forest Whitaker as the town sheriff. But since Harrelson is already playing the villain, who will Dafoe be portraying? Dafoe has »

Can a movie’s cast be a little too good? That’s the question I’m forced to ponder when discussing Out of the Furnace, which has already been able to lock an incredible assembly, consisting of Christian Bale, Woody Harrelson, Zoe Saldana, Forest Whitaker, Casey Affleck, and Sam Shepard. A great lineup, but, with just one actor, the proceedings got a whole deal better.
According to Variety, Willem Dafoe has been has been added to the cast of Scott Cooper‘s film, having just signed for the role of “a bookie who Affleck‘s character owes a debt” — not entirely dissimilar to a part Whitaker was initially rumored for. The actual story, meanwhile, can be read below:
