The Commitment

It is reported that Christian Bale and Oscar Isaac will co-star in director Terry George ("Hotel Rwanda")'s new work "The Promise". The film is a romance film, and the script was written by "Memoirs of a Geisha" screenwriter Robin Swicord. The background of the story is the last years of the Ottoman Turkish Empire (1922), and Chris, an American journalist stationed in Paris played by Bell, Michael, a medical student played by Isaac, and Anna, the heroine, will stage a sentimental love triangle in troubled times. The characters played by Bell and Isaac respectively represent the rules of the new world and the traditions of the old world. The collision of the two actors and the cultural symbols they carry will definitely be a highlight of the film. Filming will begin this fall in southern Europe, including Portugal and Spain's Canary Islands.
