Terrence Malick is well known for cutting actors out of his theatrical cuts (see IndieWire’s list of eight actors who never made it into the Malick films they shot), and such was the case with Haley Bennett on “Song to Song.” Bennett was cast opposite Christian Bale in 2011, but Bale could not complete the movie because of his commitment to shoot “American Hustle.” Bale’s departure resulted in Bennett’s scenes getting cut from the movie, but Malick still played a crucial role in boosting Bennett’s profile in the industry.
As Bennett recently told The Hollywood Reporter, Malick wrote a letter singing her praises after being forced to cut her out of “Song to Song.” Malick sent the letter by mail to the director Antoine Fuqua after learning Bennett was getting ready to audition for Fuqua’s action movie “The Equalizer.” Bennett called Malick her “guardian angel” because of the letter.
