Christian Bale travels back in time to 1830s upstate New York for the Netflix movie "The Pale Blue Eye."

'Amsterdam' No. I'm going to say, 'Oh, fuck.' People have always told me that this kind of thing helps. I never believed it. But I was like, 'Oh, well, okay. It matters to me. I care, you know? This is not the kind of life I come to lead playing characters. This is the realpolitik world of, 'Fucking Hell'. I want to be able to keep doing this. So, that was my original motivation. I said, 'Yeah, okay. Okay. Maybe this is the time for that.'”

“The Pale Blue Eye” opens in theaters December 23 and streams January 6 on Netflix.

The film is a winding tale of three cultures, two of which seem to drive the story about class and greed similarly to the original film; however, the third element is the Kadapa tribe, a people who seek to appropriate the power of the deities for themselves rather than worship them.
