The Pale Blue Eye will be written and directed by Scott Cooper.
Based on the novel by Louis Bayard, The Pale Blue Eye revolves around the attempt to solve a series of murders that took place in 1830 at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
After a bidding war against other multiple competitors, Netflix has successfully won the worldwide distribution rights to Scott Cooper’s upcoming horror-thriller titled The Pale Blue Eye led by Oscar winner Christian Bale (Ford v. Ferrari).
The project also marks the third collaboration between Bale and Cooper after working together on 2017’s Hostiles and 2013’s Out of the Furnace.
