- OUT OF THE FURNACE
 |
| Woody Harrelson |
Woody Harrelson, who can currently be seen in The Hunger
Games, is in negotiations to play the villain in Relativity Media's Out of the
Furnace, reports Variety.
In the film, to be directed by Scott Cooper, Christian Bale
will star as older brother Russell Baze alongside Casey Affleck who will play
the role of younger brother Rodney Baze Jr. Zoe Saldana has also been cast as
Bale's love interest Lena Warren and Sam Shepard will play Red, Russell and
Rodney Baze’s uncle.
The film is a drama about fate, circumstance, and
redemption. Russell and his younger brother live in the economically depressed
Rust Belt, and have always dreamed of escaping and finding better lives. But
when a cruel twist of fate lands Russell in prison, his brother is lured into
one of the most violent and ruthless crime rings in the Northeast - a mistake
that will almost cost him everything. Once released, Russell must choose
between his own freedom, or risk it all to seek justice for his brother.
Harrelson is in talks to play Curtis DeGroat, the ringleader
who Bale's character winds up seeking vengeance against.
Filming is scheduled to start later this month in Braddock,
Pennsylvania.
