Christian Bale and Harry Melling Interview: The Pale Blue Eye

- We’re well aware of Christian Bale’s limitless range. Ever since 1987’s Empire of the Sun, he’s given every ounce of himself to one unforgettable production after the next, including three collaborations with Scott Cooper. It’s about time we more widely recognize that same wealth of talent in Bale's The Pale Blue Eye co-star, Harry Melling.
Given the success of the Harry Potter film franchise, it’s no surprise that Melling is most well-known for his portrayal of Dudley Dursley. But, if you’ve missed out on some of his more recent work, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, The Old Guard, and The Queen’s Gambit, just to name a few, you’re missing out on one of the most promising talents in the business right now. And, his work in The Pale Blue Eye further proves that true.
Based on the Louis Bayard novel, Cooper’s film takes place at West Point in 1830. When a cadet is found dead, a local detective, Bale’s Augustus Landor, is brought in to investigate. It soon becomes clear that Landor won’t be able to crack the case without the help of a rather eccentric cadet with a deep love of poetry, Melling’s Edgar Allen Poe.
With The Pale Blue Eye now playing in select theaters, I got the chance to chat with Bale and Melling about their experience making the film. Check out what they told me in this video interview!

Holy shit I'm just now finding out that Harry Melling was Dudley Dursley in Harry Potter. What a fine actor he has become. Good for him. He put on a great performance as Edgar A. Poe.
Harry Melling stole every scene
He nailed it, I’ll watch any movie he makes after this.
It's kind of insane that anyone could steal a scene from Christian Bale over and over. But he definitely did.
I want Scott Copper to direct Morbius-2 casting Harry Melling to play anti-hero against Jared Leto the Michael Morbius
@@almafregoso3582 I actually didn't like him in the Queen's gambit but loved him in this,he was superb in this
Harry Melling gave an Oscar worthy performance! This movie is a must see just for Harry!
when Bale points to you and says bloody good, well then..
This movie was solid gold. Acting was solid. Dudley is unrecognizable. Probably one of the best actors that came out of Harry Potter movies. Empire of the Sun will squeeze the tears out of your eyes, and Christian Bale's level never went down a single note.
Bale is no doubt one of the best actor of all time. Would love to see him and DiCaprio in a movie together someday
A war epic from Steven Spielberg would be perfect for them.
@@antoniovaldespino6650 HEAT remake with Bale as Pacino and DiCaprio as DeNiro would be epic
with Nolan directing, it would be perfection.
@@oli.y yes! And Robert Pattinson as val Kilmer epic
Christian bale is what Leo wishes he was he has the backbone to make art and takes the risk Leo only does golden roles Christian bale is the best actor rn by far
The interviewer actually asked harry two great questions and harry did well to hide the scene he was thinking about, I’d bet anything he’s talking about the scene where bales character has to confront Harry’s character and the exchange between the two was amazing one of the best scenes I’ve seen in I can’t even remember how long. Good question and I know harry probably wanted to answer but didn’t want to spoil the plot nice 😁
These two done a amazing job. As an actor Christian Bale had been one of my favorite actors. Have s of to both of them. #handsdown
This movie fucked me up. That final scene is an emotional roller coaster I was not prepared for. I have to read the book now. Movie was phenomenal. Christian and Harry were simply incredible. Everyone in this film was borderline unrecognizable
I had to watch it twice. I saw it a few months ago at a screening with Christian and then had to wait for it to be on Netflix because I ended the movie like WTF did I just watch?
Christian couldn't be who he is if he answered that question "Yes I crushed that one scene! I was Awesome". 😂 He is a true Artist. And Harry is a brilliant artist who is so humble and Carry's himself as such. Great film. Great performances
I love Harry Melling and his voice 😍❤
Harry Melling is my crush 💖 I love his voice. He is Lovely 💕
@@EliyNeverhood Harry is also my crush 😍 I can’t wait to see him in this movie on January 6th
Where’s your parents, Potter? They dead?
I want Scott Copper to direct Morbius-2 casting Harry Melling to play anti-hero against Jared Leto the Michael Morbius
Finally an interview with great questions! These are the sorts of things people who really enjoy filmmaking and acting want to know 😊
Seriously. 100% She's excellent.
Harry killed it
I can't get enough of this film.
I keep coming back to it.
I now think it's entirely due to Melling's performance as Poe.
It was scheer joy to watch these two act together.
Christian Bale is consistently good, even pull ed this one off just fine. Still, his civil war beard is just something my mind can not wrap around. Sucker looks like a photo a couple centuries old. Crazy.
I think he got tired of being recognized probably but it works in the film so hey 🤷♂️
Indeed, Melling is hypnotizing as Poe 🥰❤️
I watched Empire of the Sun when I was 12, in the 80's, that scene he describes lives with me to this day, incredible indeed!.
So great to see thoughtful and intelligent questions. Love Melling in this and Bale is probably my favourite actor ever.
Appreciate the interviewer asking these great film focused questions. She's excellent 👌
Beautiful movie, Bale as always amazing, and Harry Melling is really incredible as Poe!
Good interview, interesting questions.
Perri!!! Amazing interviewer with amazing actors
harry melling is so cute I wanna put him in my pocket

Happy Birthday to Harry Melling!: Today, March 13th. (Or, is it the 17th, as some sites indicate? Regardless, all of the best to a fine actor who gave a Poefect performance.)
