Exclusive:
Bale Bond
Empire On Line, April 26, 2001.
Despite having taken a pledge earlier this week
not to add to the mounting pile of ridiculous Bond casting stories
that are littering the world's press, Empire Online simply couldn't
resist this little gem.
Interviewed in this month's Empire magazine (out
1 May 2001), Christian Bale throws his name into the ring of possible
Bond candidates, and then immediately ruins his chances by comparing
007 to the psychotic killer he played in American Psycho. 'I suppose
there are actually a number of character traits that are similar
between Bond and Patrick Bateman,' drawls Bale, 'a complete lack
of remorse in killing people, both are utter misogynists.'
As for whether
he'd consider any overtures from Eon Production to play the role,
Bale says; 'I've only thought of it because a couple of people
have mentioned it since American Psycho...Certainly if I was going
to do it, it wouldn't be for a long time.'
