Start Getting to Know Michael Fassbender Now

A wonderful article, “Why You Need to Start Paying Attention to Michael Fassbender,” written by David Ehrlich for Cinematical, complements Michael’s work and discusses Michael’s talent.

And ever since Inglourious Basterds hit theaters last August, I have been yelling at those same people to see Steve McQueen’s Hunger, which is not only my favorite debut film of this young millennium, but also home to the most remarkable performance of Fassbender’s already impressive career. Considering yourself a Fassbender fan without having seen Hunger is like considering yourself a Michael Jordan fan having only seen him play baseball – valid, but kinda incomplete…

See, the 33 year-old German-born Irishman is destined to be a major Hollywood player before long (he’s playing someone named “Magneto” in next summer’s X-Men: First Class), but even before he starred in unavoidable event films he routinely proved that he’s not just an actor to watch, but also one to actively follow. Fassbender is going to be good in everything he does from here on out, but he’s already been great several times over, and he’s helped to make a few great films in the process. And with Centurion opening theatrically tomorrow, it’s time to be reminded that you should be paying attention.

Another article from Femmebot.com by Mizzblitz, “Michael Fassbender is very busy. And that’s a good thing,” talks about the large lineup of work for the up and coming star:

One of our favorite actors right now is Michael Fassbender, who has been wowing international audiences with his varied performances in FISH TANK, THE DEVIL’S WHORE, Francois Ozon’s ANGEL, HUNGER, and Quentin Tarantino’s INGLORIOUS BASTERDS.

This weekend, his newest film hits theaters: CENTURION, an intense, violent historical tale of Roman soldiers lost in the wilds of early AD Northern Britian, struggling to survive against fierce local warriors. Fassbender holds his own during brutal battle scenes that any fan of GLADIATOR, 300, or SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND will enjoy immensely.

Michael is Lead in “A Dangerous Method”

In a recent interview from Macleans.ca, director David Cronenberg discussed his recent shoot of “A Dangerous Method”.

Q. So who is the lead?

Michael Fassbender [Hunger] plays Jung. He’s about to do X-Men, so he will soon have genre cred. He’s a terrific actor and he and Viggo got along absolutely great. Very light, terrific tone on the set.
