Christian Bale 证实有跟 Disney 讨论参演《Star Wars》的 Han Solo 独立电影

近日 The Hollywood Reporter 的记者 Borys Kit 透露，Disney 在邀请 Woody Harrelson 加入 Han Solo 独立电影《Solo: A Star Wars Story》之前，原来曾接触过 Chistian Bale，这说法更已得到了 Christian Bale 本人亲自证实:
Yes, [it was] very tempting. I not only love the films going back to my childhood but also have a very long relationship with Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall because they did Empire of the Sun many years back. There was discussion, [and] I hope there will be future discussions.

Christian Bale 在电台节目 Happy Sad Confused Podcast 上，表示这是十分吸引的邀请，除因为《Star Wars》这作品本身之外，亦因为跟电影监制 Kathleen Kennedy 及其丈夫 Frank Marshall 多年来的关系。他们三人早在 1987 年，已因 Steven Spielberg 的电影《Empire of the Sun》而合作过，当年 Christian Bale 演出这作品时只得 12 岁。另外在节目中，他还谈及了 Ben Affleck 所演的 Batman 作品:
I have not [seen Ben Affleck’s Batman]. Yes I’m interested [in seeing it], my son seemed like he was really interested, but then I realized he just wanted to see the trailer and that was it—I tend to go see films that [my kids] want to see. I have to confess I’m not a huge superhero film fan. People seem surprised at that, I don’t know why. I’ve not seen any of the Avengers films or any of those films at all. I hear they’re very good, but I’m quite happy just hearing they’re very good.
Christian Bale 跟 Christopher Nolan 合作的 Batman 电影系列，至今仍为人所津津乐道，甚至被不少观众视为最出色的 Batman 电影，经常将 Christian Bale 跟 Ben Affleck 作比较。未知当 Ben Affleck 得知 Christian Bale 表示还未看过他的 Batman 演出后，会否又再展露出以下这个表情…

另外《James Bond》电影制作人 Barbara Broccoli，近日表示下任 007 有可能是女性，有兴趣可到这里了解。
