Bale and Penn May Take “Last Photograph” Together

Sean Penn may join the war-themed drama The Last Photograph alongside Christian Bale. Bale is already attached to the Warner Bros. project to be directed by Niels Arden Oplev, who helmed the original Girl With the Dragon Tattoo film. The film currently aims to begin production next year.


 
Here’s the story for the film, courtesy of Deadline Hollywood:

Bale plays a war correspondent who witnesses and is the only survivor of an attack on a group of Americans. Penn is circling the role of a retired ex-special ops soldier who comes to the scene determined to free a family member who has been kidnapped. The journalist agrees to help identify the kidnappers and travel the rough terrain to find them, in exchange for the story. The road brings them in confrontation with tribal regions of Afghanistan, and none of the diplomats will help.”

It sounds like an interesting story, and Bale and Penn would make for a great on-screen duo. How do you feel about this movie?
