Bale Reteaming With Brad Anderson For 'Concrete Island'

So it looks like Christian Bale is going to be dropping weight...again.

Speaking with We Got This Covered, The Machinist director, Brad Anderson, revealed that he's currently working on an adaptation of J.G. Ballard's novel, Concrete Island, with none other than Christian Bale set to star.  Along with Bale, Scott Kosar, who wrote the script for The Machinist, is back for this project as well.

It's basically a reteaming of The Machinist crew.  Yes!

The story of Concrete Island revolves around a man who finds himself stranded on a man-made island following a car crash.  With nothing left to survive other than what remains in his car, the survivor begins to deteriorate both mentally and physically.

Read below for the full synopsis [via Amazon]:

On a day in April, just after three o'clock in the afternoon, Robert Maitland's car crashes over the concrete parapet of a high-speed highway onto the island below, where he is injured and, finally, trapped. What begins as an almost ludicrous predicament soon turns into horror as Maitland—a wickedly modern Robinson Crusoe—realizes that, despite evidence of other inhabitants, this doomed terrain has become a mirror of his own mind.
