The Burial (2012)
Director: Terrence Malick
Synopsis
There was a relatively long gap between ‘The New World’ and ‘The Tree of Life’, but now it seems that Terrence Malick has four new films on the go. He’s finished ‘The Burial’ (which may change its name), which stars Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Rachel Weisz, Olga Kurylenko, Javier Bardem, Barry Pepper and Jessica Chastain. The story is said to feature Affleck as a writer in a loveless marriage with Kurylenko, and both husband and wife are looking for something more from their lives outside of their marriage. The three other projects that Malick has on the go are ‘Voyage of Time’, ‘Knight of Cups’ (starring Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett) and ‘Lawless’ (starring Bale, Blanchett and Ryan Gosling). ‘Voyage of Time’ has been described as a natural history film and is said to be an expansion on the ‘birth of the universe’ sequence in ‘The Tree of Life’. Malick was recently caught on camera filming Bale in the crowd at a Texas music festival for one of the new films.
