Scott Cooper to Direct ‘Time Out’ Remake Starring Christian Bale
Acclaimed director Scott Cooper is set to collaborate with Christian Bale once again. The duo will work together on a remake of the 2001 film “Time Out,” originally directed by Laurent Cantet. This new project is expected to stream on Netflix.
Details of the “Time Out” Remake
Shooting for “Time Out” is scheduled to begin on March 31 in Vancouver. The story delves into the life of an unemployed man who spirals deeper into difficulty while concealing his jobless state from family and friends. The original film received high praise, often regarded as Cantet’s best work, even more influential than his Palme d’Or winner “The Class.”
Bale and Cooper: A Productive Partnership
This upcoming project marks the fourth collaboration between Christian Bale and Scott Cooper. Their previous films include:
- Hostiles
- Out of the Furnace
- The Pale Blue Eye
Given their history, it is anticipated that additional projects may follow. Bale and Cooper appear to enjoy their creative partnership, and this could lead to several more films together.
Scott Cooper’s Future Projects
In addition to “Time Out,” Scott Cooper has other films in the pipeline. His upcoming projects include:
- Roswell
- Comanche
The latter is based on a script by Eric Roth, initially intended for director Michael Mann. This transition reflects Cooper’s growing stature in Hollywood.
A Look Back at Cooper’s Acclaim
Scott Cooper’s recent film, “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere,” had high Oscar aspirations but has faced challenges. Cooper’s filmography also boasts acclaimed works such as:
- Crazy Heart
- Black Mass
- Hostiles
- Out of the Furnace
- The Pale Blue Eye
As Scott Cooper continues to forge his path in cinema, his collaboration with Christian Bale on the “Time Out” remake is eagerly anticipated by fans and critics alike.
