We chat with ThePaleBlueEye director Scott Cooper about discovering Louis Bayard's novel, working with Christian Bale, creating the perfect Edgar Allen Poe, and more:
Scott Cooper's The Pale Blue Eye is a visually striking and methodically paced murder mystery that takes viewers on a haunting adventure brimming with satisfying twists and turns. Adapted from the book of the same name by Louis Bayard, it's the sixth film directed by Cooper, who began his career with the exceptional 2009 music drama Crazy Heart and continued to offer up compelling stories in Out of the Furnace, Hostiles, and Antlers.
That is amazing. How did the performance that he ended up giving compare to what was in your head as you were going along? Scott Cooper: Well, it really was portraying who Poe was at this stage in his life. We know Poe, collectively, as the master of the macabre; a man who writes about tragedy, and death, and despair, and grief. We have entrenched firmly in our consciousness who Edgar Allan Poe is, but the Poe that we're presenting is warm, and witty, and humorous, and prone to poetic and romantic musing.
I think with any mystery movie, it's common for people to go back and see if there are any clues they missed the first time. Is that something that you're conscious of, and did you make an effort to put things in that would be rewarding on a second viewing? Scott Cooper: It was incredibly difficult to shoot this film. [We shot in a] quite unforgiving and brutal landscape that was not easily accessible. Temperatures were four below, eight below zero for long stretches when you're outside, but it all really lent itself to Poe's evocative and macabre aesthetic.
