Bale Joins Wahlberg and Singer in PRISONERS

If there was ever an actor to play dark and brooding it’s Christian Bale hands down. He’s just signed on to the PRISONERS project alongside Mark Wahlberg and (potentially) Bryan Singer.
This is a creepy one -
After his 6-year-old daughter and her friend are kidnapped, a small-town carpenter butts heads with a young, brash detective in charge of the investigation. The father is a Bible-reading, deer-hunting survivalist. The cop, meanwhile, can’t wait to get to the city. Feeling failed by the law, the father captures the man he believes responsible and begins to torture him in a desperate attempt to find out what he did with the girls, whom he’s convinced are still alive.
First, is Bale the father or the kidnapper? Which one is Wahlberg? It sounds creepy and could be really good. The spec script has yet to be financed but Bale is just one more clog in the machine for Endeavor who is trying to get this one to go.
