Early last week, THN brought you the first couple of stills from the CRAZY HEART director Scott Cooper’s upcoming, all-star revenge thriller, OUT OF THE FURNACE. Now we’ve further few two behind-the-scenes images, as well as the brooding first poster, from the film uniting Christian Bale, Woody Harrelson, Casey Affleck, Forest Whitaker, Willem Dafoe, Sam Shepard and Zoe Saldana for the following, gripping synopsis.
From the critically-acclaimed writer and director of “Crazy Heart” comes a gripping and gritty dramatic thriller about fate, circumstance, and justice. Russell (Bale) and his younger brother Rodney (Affleck) live in the economically-depressed Rust Belt, and have always dreamed of escaping and finding better lives. But when a cruel twist of fate lands Russell in prison, his brother is lured into one of the most violent and ruthless crime rings in the Northeast – a mistake that will almost cost him everything. Once released, Russell must choose between his own freedom, or risk it all to seek justice for his brother.
OUT OF THE FURNACE is released in the UK cinemas 29th November and the US 6th December.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
