So, apparently, Knight of Cups is indeed filming at the same time as the "untitled indie-rock thriller" formerly known as Lawless. Set pics have started turning up. How cool would it be to see Christian Bale and Natalie Portman cruising down the street with Malick and Chivo in the back? Here's some earlier pics of Bale and Portman frolicking on the beach.

Thank you so much for posting these pictures. It allowed me to immediately recognize the car, Christian Bale, and then Terrence Malick chilling on the sidewalk when I left my apartment yesterday.

Ha. I've lived here for a year, and he's only the second celebrity I've seen. So yes, i got a little excited. And I truly would've walked right by if I didn't spot the car.

We all need to take a moment to realize just how weird it is that Malick is making a hipster movie.

TMZ doesn't recognize Malick.

Well, I found out what Terrence Malick looks like without the hat on, so it wasn't a total loss.

So is it four movies he has in various stages of production now?

Oh god, Oh man, Oh man, Oh god, Oh god, Oh man...

To the Wonder is completely finished and submitted to the MPAA. Voyage of Time is in some sort of post-production limbo. Knight of Cups is currently filming, while Untitled Indie Rock Thriller Formerly Known as Lawless shot some early scenes at music festivals, but has supposedly not started the bulk of principal photography yet. Christian Bale, Natalie Portman, Cate Blanchett, and Wes Bentley are in both of the latter films, and so is a guy named Justin Wheelon who is listed as a character named "Jake" in both films. I can't help but think they are parts of the same epic film, companion pieces being filmed simultaneously, some bizarre rouse by Malick, or something.
