Found in: Movies, NewsAssassin's Creed Film Starring Michael Fassbender On The Way
In July, it was reported that Michael Fassbender would star in and co-produce a film based on the successful Assassin’s Creed videogame franchise. All that was missing was someone to finance and distribute the film, and Deadline has now reported that New Regency has struck a deal to do both.... read more
Found in: Movies, NewsMichael Fassbender to Star In Assassin’s Creed Movie
Take a deep breath, everyone. Not only is the Assassin’s Creed film adaption happening, but it’s set to star Magneto himself—none other than Michael Fassbender. According to Variety, the X-Men: First Class/Prometheus/Shame star will not only take on the role of a trained assassin, but will also co-produce the film.... read more
Found in: Games, NewsPrometheus
During interviews leading up to the release of Prometheus, director Ridley Scott and screenwriters Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof did their best to downplay any branding of their new film as a “prequel” to Scott’s 1979 sci-fi/horror classic, Alien. Their explanation as to why it wasn’t certainly came across reasonably enough―talking points included a desire for the film to stand on its own merits as well as serve as a springboard for a potential new franchise separate from the increasingly silly Alien films. read more

Robotic Joel can do anything, including play Hungry Hungry Hippos by himself, but not before his morning scotch.... read more
Found in: Blogs, Awesome of the DayHaywire
In his follow-up to Contagion, auteur Steven Soderbergh makes over the espionage thriller and puts an ass-kicking woman in the lead. That Haywire features a female action star isn’t in itself particularly innovative (see: Salt, Wanted). That the female action star isn’t Angelina Jolie, and that Soderbergh built the film around a mixed martial arts fighter in her first theatrically released film—well, that’s something one doesn’t see every day. In addition to her EliteXC and Strikeforce bouts, Gina Carano has appeared in TV’s American Gladiators and direct-to-DVD actioner Blood and Bone, but here she headlines a cast that includes A-listers... read more
Found in: Movies, ReviewsShame
2011 has been Michael Fassbender’s year. From the latest entry in the blockbuster X-Men franchise to period roles in films like Jane Eyre and A Dangerous Method, the Irish-German actor has continued to impress critics and audiences alike. And this isn’t some Jude Law-style fluke—Fassbender is an extremely talented and handsome actor whose onscreen presence fits comfortably in both action films and more experimental cinema. This point is driven home in artist-turned-filmmaker Steve McQueen’s second film, Shame. McQueen and Fassbender previously worked together in the director’s astounding debut, Hunger, and the two have at least one more film in development... read more

Jung employs the new and “dangerous” method in question for her therapy, considered pretty radical for the time: conversation.... read more
