Christian Bale is set to star in “The Prisoners,” the sought-after project that already has Mark Wahlberg and Bryan Singer attached.
The film has been described as a cross between “Silence Of The Lambs” and “Seven” and was penned by Aaron Guzikowski, who gained significant interest for the script from studios.
‘Prisoners’ chronicles the story of a Boston family man(played by – you guessed it – Wahlberg) who takes the law into his own hands after his 6 year old daughter and her friend are kidnapped. The father, who is described as a ‘Bible-reading, deer hunting survivalist,’ kidnaps the man he believes is responsible in order to find the girls. It is believed Bale will play a cop who is involved with the whole ordeal.
This is will be first time any combination of Bale, Wahlberg and Singer will work together. Interestingly, Bale and Wahlberg are both known for their tough on and off screens personas, both have had troubles with the law regarding violence and both are known as family men frequently seen with their respective young daughters.
