Director Scott Cooper broke out in a big way with 2009âs Crazy Heart, which won Jeff Bridges his first Academy Award. It looks like the directorâs next film will be a project called The Pale Blue Eye, which Cooper will write and direct for Fox 2000. The Wrapâs report on the matter gives no other plot details, but there exists a novel called The Pale Blue Eye that is a period drama/thriller about Edgar Allan Poe's brief time as a cadet at West Point. No word if Cooper will be adapting this novel, or if his project is an original idea that simply has the same title.Cooper is currently adapting Laura Hillenbrandâs WWII non-fiction novel Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption for director Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend). Being a big fan of Crazy Heart myself, I canât wait to see how the directorâs sophomore effort turns out.
