Attention, Malick Lovers

It seems like forever that we Terrence Malick fans have been awaiting his fifth feature, The Tree of Life—even though that release, scheduled for sometime this year, will mark a relatively brief lag time between titles for the reclusive auteur. Now there’s more reason to celebrate: Malick has announced another project—a love story—to star Christian Bale, Javier Bardem, and others. In the meantime, devotees can sate themselves with the Criterion Blu-ray edition of Days of Heaven, coming in March.
