Filmmaker Malick, Christian Bale spotted at ACL Fest
(Jorge Sanhueza-Lyon AMERICAN-STATESMAN)
Austin fimmaker Terrence Malick has been busy this year. He won the Palme d’Or for his imaginative and moving film “The Tree of Life,” and word is he has already finished with principal photography on his next film starring Ben Affleck and Rachel McAdams. There was news his next film after that would be a feature starring Christian Bale. And it seems the director and actor may already be working together, or at least hanging out. Photographer Daniel Bloomfield posted to Flickr last night a photo of Malick and Bale on the side of the stage during Bright Eyes performance. For those skeptics who believe there’s no way Malick would be spotted on stage, there is Spoon drummer Jim Eno in the foreground of the photo. It is also interesting to note that photographers were not allowed to shoot the Bright Eyes set where the legendarily press-shy director was snapped. Reps from C3 would not confirm Malick or Bale’s appearance at the festival Friday. Bright Eyes plays tonight at Stubb’s.

I got news for you people (including the Statesman):
Celebrities don’t impress real Austinites.
So if you’re impressed by celebrities, that’s a darn good sign you’re not from here.
