Bale’s Six-Hour Transformation and Buckley Injury Drive Final Push for Gyllenhaal’s The Bride!

Gyllenhaal’s R-rated, IMAX release on March 6 is framed as a genre-blending spectacle rather than a musical.

Overview

  • Christian Bale said it took up to six hours a day to become “Frank,” adopting a group screaming ritual in the makeup trailer to endure the process.
  • Jessie Buckley revealed she broke a toe during a pivotal late shoot but returned to complete the scene the following day.
  • Maggie Gyllenhaal clarified the film is not a musical, despite prominent singing and large dance numbers, including a major tap sequence.
  • Entertainment Weekly confirmed cameos by Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard’s daughters, joining a cast that includes Sarsgaard, Jake Gyllenhaal, Annette Bening and Penélope Cruz.
  • Warner Bros. will release The Bride! in theaters and IMAX on March 6 with an R rating for strong/bloody violent content, sexual content/nudity and language.
