Christian Bale, Oscar Isaac To Star In Period Piece

Written by Huzaifa Khan on June 15, 2015.

Christian Bale, with co-star Oscar Isaac, will star as two thirds of a tragic love triangle in a period film titled The Promise, Entertainment Weekly has confirmed, setting up two heavyweight actors in a film from director Terry George (Hotel Rwanda).

As first reported by The Wrap, Bale (American Hustle) has been tapped to play Chris, an American reporter residing in the crumbling Ottoman Empire, who falls in love with the same woman adored by a Middle Eastern medical student played by Isaac (A Most Violent Year).

The film—co-written by Oscar-winner George and Memoirs of a Geisha scribe Robin Swicord—will be set during the decline of the Ottoman Empire, which collapsed in 1922 shortly after its defeat in World War I, which witnessed the Armenian Genocide of 1915.

No release date has been set for the film, which is set to begin production this fall in Southern Europe, reports The Wrap. For all your promised needs, keep it here at KhanFlix.
