Out of the Furnace Confirmed for Spring Shoot in Pittsburgh

A few months ago, I read about a new Christian Bale movie to be shot this year called Out of the Furnace. It sounded like the sort of thing that could, indeed, be shot here. And so, it will be. According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Out of the Furnace will be shot in Braddock this year. The Website Deadline: New York notes that Casey Affleck has been added to the cast. Scott Cooper, whose flick Crazy Heart won two Oscars a few years back (for Best Actor (Jeff Bridges) and for Best Song), is directing and wrote the script.
