Anyone heard anything about this new Christian Bale (and Jennifer Jason Leigh and Michael Ironside) movie?

Christian Bale is the best actor on the planet in my opinion. Not based on Reign of Fire, but back in his Indy days with Metroland, All the Little Animals, Velvet Goldmine, Prince Of Jutland.
This movie The Machinist could be his first Oscar nomination (I'm hoping). It's about a machinist Insomniac who goes without sleep for a year and starts to go insane. Based on American Psycho, nothing beats an insane Christian Bale. To get in "shape" for the role, Bale actually lost 60 pounds.

He looks weak alright in some stills from the movie... But it all sounds very promising to me!
And what about Reign Of Fire? Does Bale suck there? I heard he's rather good.

No I think Christian Bale is good in everything, but Reign of Fire isn't his strongest acting performance. Of course it's a big Dragon slayer action movie, so he's not supposed to be performing at Oscar caliber.
