Per Kerry’s Eye Online:

Hollywood glitz will be lighting up Killarney and Dingle this month, as two movie stars arrive in the county for high-profile appearances.

Award-winning actor Michael Fassbender is to lead the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in his home town of Killarney, while Cillian Murphy, star of The Wind That Shakes the Barley, is to officially open the Dingle Film Festival.

Fassbender has a slew of acclaimed films to his credit, and will be Grand Marshall at the parade, which will be dedicated to the memory of the late Cllr Michael Courtney.

The actor grew up in Fossa, attended Saint Brendan’s College and worked in his parents’ restaurant, West End House.

“We’re absolutely delighted to have Michael for the parade,” Cllr Donal Grady said. “He is a big, rising star. We certainly want to see more people coming out and more business people getting involved.”

Actionfest, the first ever film festival devoted to Action Cinema opens with World Premiere of Neil Marshall’s CENTURION.

This April, Asheville, NC will be the home to the inaugural edition of ActionFest, the world’s first film festival devoted exclusively to action cinema, and to the people who make it possible, from filmmakers to stuntmen and fight choreographers. Created by Carolina Cinemas founder/Magnolia Pictures co-founder Bill Banowsky and famed action director and producer Aaron Norris (Missing in Action III, Walker, Texas Ranger), the festival will take place at The Carolina Asheville cinema from Thursday, April 15th to Sunday, April 18th. ActionFest opens with the world premiere of Neil Marshall’s bloody sword and sandal epic, Centurion, and is proud to announce that the recipient of its first annual Lifetime Action Achievement Award will be none other than legendary martial artist and action movie superstar Chuck Norris!

Centurion, the latest genre masterpiece from cult favorite Neil Marshall (The Descent), will have its world premiere at ActionFest on Thursday, April 15th. Based on the legendary battle between Rome’s famed Ninth Legion and ferocious Picts of Northern England in 117 AD, Centurion stars Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds, 300, Hunger), Dominic West (300; HBO’s The Wire) and gorgeous Bond-girl Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace, Hitman). Recently acquired by Magnet Releasing, Centurion will open in theaters nationwide this summer.

Chuck Norris will receive the Lifetime Action Achievement Award in person on Sunday, April 18. Best known for the hit CBS-TV series, Walker, Texas Ranger, and over 30 action films, including such genre classics as Return of the Dragon, the Missing in Action and Delta Force films, and Code of Silence, Norris is also a best-selling author and weekly columnist for WorldNetDaily and Creators Syndicate. Next to his family, he feels his greatest accomplishment is the KickStart Kids, a foundation that he conceived in 1992 that’s committed to helping inner city kids by building strong moral character through the Martial Arts. Taught in middle schools, over 63,000 kids have graduated from the program since its inception, most of them going on to college and becoming successful in their own right. KickStart Kids currently has over 6,500 students in the program. In honor of Norris’s appearance at ActionFest, all profits of this year’s festival will be donated to the Kickstart Kids Foundation.

Michael Fassbender, best known for his recent role in ”Inglorious Bastards” visited the Gaiety School of Acting today in a memorable day for its students. Watched by all 1st and 2nd year students, Michael discussed the trials and tribulations of his career including his rise to fame. Michael was first taught by GSA tutor Donal Courtney and from here he went on to the Drama Centre in London. He first played the part of Burton ‘Pat’ Christenson in Tom Hanks and Steven Spieldberg’s award winning Band Of Brothers. After a number of television roles, Michael then went on to star in some big productions, most notably 300, Hunger, Eden Lake and Hunger.

His life story was followed up by questions and answers from students of the GSA. After receiving a gracious round of applause, GSA director Patrick Sutton thanked Mr Fassbender for his visit and wished him the best in his future endeavours.

The Gaiety School of Acting would like to thank long serving tutor, Donal Courtney for organising the event today.
