Director Scott Cooper and Christian Bale reunite for the third time (following Out of the Furnace and Hostiles) to bring us The Pale Blue Eye. Based on the 2003 novel of the same name by Louis Bayard, the story involves a detective investigating a series of murders at the infamous West Point Military Academy in 1830. Not only is the detective leading the investigation, but he is also aided by the iconic writer himself, Edgar Allen Poe.
