The pale blue eye

Unlike his contemporaries, he found life on set to be quite isolating at times. "My experience was unique in terms of I wasn't in it throughout the entire shoot," the actor, 33, tells EW over Zoom from Los Angeles — now much taller and leaner compared to the plump, rosy-cheeked child with a haughty smirk movie-goers have been used to. "The earthly sequences would very much be an isolated filming block. So, I dipped in, and then I went back to school and normal life." Melling never felt as if people would recognize him on the streets of London. "Which I kind of loved," he quickly adds. To him, fame feels like noise. He counts himself lucky that he hasn't become traditionally "famous.""Sometimes it's nice to just concentrate on the work and what excites you," he says. Melling has been able to do just that with his life post- Potter, from his early run in theater to playing chess champ Harry Beltik in the Netflix hit The Queen's Gambit. However, one role would create a different kind of noise, the kind that would get his industry peers to notice him, if not the public. Seeing Melling as the limbless artist in 2018's The Ballad of Buster Scruggs would inspire director Scott Cooper ( Out of the Furnace, Antlers) to cast the Englishman as a young Edgar Allan Poe in The Pale Blue Eye, Melling's most impressive on-screen role to date. In hindsight, Buster Scruggs was a formative moment for Melling, but he didn't understand that at the time. He was just eager to work with the Coen ...

A s a director, Scott Cooper has achieved a reputation for handling the tough textures of the western; now he applies that expertise to this enjoyable if entirely preposterous historical mystery thriller, adapted by Cooper from the 2003 bestseller by Louis Bayard, an author renowned for his ingenious reimaginings of real-life historical figures and famous fictional characters. The Pale Blue Eye takes place in 1830 and Christian Bale, in full haunted/bearded mode (the same that he had for But Landor needs some help with this bizarre case – and he gets it from a certain officer cadet, one Edgar Allan Poe (played with exotic solemnity by Harry Melling) who with his dreamy-melancholy manner and his predilection for poetry and strange yearning fantasies, might be just the man who could intuit what is going on. (And of course, Poe really was briefly an officer cadet at West Point.) Could it be that this horrible case involving a heart might inspire Poe’s later work? A certain raven is seen croaking away there as well. As Landor’s investigations continue, he finds himself bewildered not merely by the whimsical Poe, but by the military doctor and his wife on the base (a Dickensian couple played with gusto by Toby Jones and Gillian Anderson), and an expert on the occult played by Robert Duvall. As things turn out, this case turns on a rather ridiculous coincidence: but never mind, it’s an entertaining piece of counter-factual noir.

A key historical figure from Braintree is a character in Netflix’s first big movie of 2023. British actor Timothy Spall plays Col. Sylvanus Thayer in the gothic mystery “The Pale Blue Eye,” which earned the No. 1 spot this week on Netflix’s Top 10 English-language films list. The movie debuted on the chart with 39.86 million hours viewed and was in the Top 10 in 92 countries. Thayer had no children of his own but is known as “The Father of West Point,” serving as superintendent from 1817 to 1833. Thayer was born in Braintree, and his Music: Directed by Scott Cooper (“Crazy Heart”), the “The Pale Blue Eye” stars Christian Bale as a detective hired to investigate the grisly murder of a West Point cadet. The movie co-stars Harry Melling as a young Edgar Allan Poe, who helps look for clues long before he became a famous writer. Poe was a West Point cadet for six months in 1830, but the movie is a work of fiction. On screen, Spall plays Thayer as a no-nonsense man who wants quick answers. He worries about public impressions once news of the murder spreads and wishes to avoid scandal at all costs. "There are certain powerful senators in Washington who would like nothing more than to see us fail utterly, to shut down," Thayer tells Augustus Landor (Bale) in an early scene. The script, which Cooper also wrote, highlights Thayer's deep devotion to the fledgling military academy, asking Landor "to help save the honor of the United States Military Academy." 'Mindless fun': Spall is a...

Watch Video: 'Top Gun,' 'Black Panther' sequels make USA TODAY's 2022 top film list Spoiler alert:This post contains details about the ending of Netflix’s“The Pale Blue Eye” (now streaming). Stop reading now if you haven’t seen the movie. "Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see." It's Bayard and Melling tell us about the movie's real-life history and shocking ending: Harry Melling: 'The Pale Blue Eye' is not a true story The movie features other real-life characters including Generals Sylvanus Thayer (Timothy Spall) and Ethan Allen Hitchcock (Simon McBurney) who worked at West Point. But the story itself is entirely fictional. "There's really only one truthful part of this, which is that Edgar Allan Poedid spend six months at West Point," Bayard says. "That's something that surprises people. It's the reason I chose this setting becausea lot of people don't know that he was there. And West Point has certainly never made a point of advertising that connection either;I think they're a little embarrassed by him." Christian Bale The movie shows a different side of Edgar Allan Poe Melling'sintroduction to Poe was in a 1990 Halloween episode of "The Simpsons," before he read"The Raven" and "The Tell-Tale Heart" in school. But "Pale Blue Eye" subverted his expectations of the author, who died at 40 in 1849. "In some ways, it does reinvent the idea of who Poe is," Melling says. "I think a lot of people will come into this film with an idea of this very dark, moody...
