Bale Joins Wahlberg for ‘Prisoners’

It looks like Batman could be directed by the guy who last directed Superman, and the new film will co-star Max Payne.   What a crossover!   In fact, Christian Bale, according to insiders, has attached himself to star alongside Mark Wahlberg in ‘Prisoners.’   Though it isn’t official yet, Bryan Singer has expressed interested in stepping in as the film’s director.

The film is about a small-town carpenter whose daughter is kidnapped.   Believing the local police, including a brash, young detective in charge of the investigation, aren’t doing everything that must be done, the father kidnaps the man believed to be responsible and begins torturing him.

No word yet on which actor will be playing which part.   Bale seems more the small-town, bible-thumping, kidnapper-torturing father type while Wahlberg seems more suited to play the small-town detective with aspirations on the big city.
