Acquaint yourself with the films that could be next year’s Juno and The Social Network below.

The Flowers of War Trailer with Christian Bale: The Dark Knight Races to China

Now, the Second Sino-Japanese War may not seem like the perfect backdrop for Christian Bale to showcase his heartthrob chops, but it appears there’s a romance nestled in this very expensive, ornate chronicle of the Japanese invasion of China. The Flowers of War is China’s official submission to the Oscars, and it won’t take long to see why: This thing is too gigantic and textbook-serious to be ignored.

Christian Bale Plays Another Kind of Uniformed Hero in the The Flowers of War Trailer

How does Christian Bale occupy himself between Batman movies ? Apparently by filming Chinese historical war dramas like The Flowers of War (previously titled The 13 Flowers of Nanjing ), which finds the actor playing another kind of hero in black — an American priest who helps Chinese escapees dodge death during the Nanking Massacre. Not sexy enough for you? There is probably more graphic violence (including execution-style kills), impassioned screaming, Christian Bale facial hair styles (I counted three!) and sex with prostitutes in this trailer than in all of Dark Knight Rises .
