Christian Bale has asked for more "desperately original, fiery films" like The Bride! during the London premiere of the film this week, revealing his surprising first reaction to reading the script by Maggie Gyllenhaal.
"I thought I had the wrong script," the actor told Deadline on the red carpet. "I thought, what I read, I said, 'This must be a low-budget indie, because it's way too risky for anyone to put any serious money into, but I want to do this movie, I want to do this low-budget indie that Maggie has written.' And then they said to me, 'No, no, no, they're taking a big swing.'"
