You’ve seen him as Batman… he’s been “An American Psycho”… and now he’ll star in “Out of the Furnace,” which will begin filming in Braddock (a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) this spring.

Yes, it’s Christian Bale, returning to the ‘Burgh for a second time (he recently flew into town to shoot “The Dark Night Rises”) to star in the Scott Cooper-directed thriller about an ex-con looking for a fresh start who is haunted by the past.

The $45 million production will employ about 250 people in the Pittsburgh region and bring some much-needed help to the Braddock area.

Robert Duvall is rumored to be a part of the cast as well… and Leonardo DiCaprio is listed as the film’s producer.
