Frank (post-production)


Dir Lenny Abrahamson
The anticipated latest film from Abrahamson — who drew acclaim for What Richard Did, Garage and Adam & Paul — Frank is an offbeat comedy following an aspiring musician who joins a band led by the enigmatic Frank. Michael Fassbender — wearing a large plastic head — stars, alongside Domhnall Gleeson and Maggie Gyllenhaal. “What appealed to me about it was the potential it had when I read it for a certain kind of very joyful, playful filmmaking, which I love and haven’t had a chance to express in the last projects I’ve done really, because they’ve been very different animals,” Abrahamson says. Written by Jon Ronson and Peter Straughan, the film was shot in Ireland and New Mexico. Frank was produced by Element Pictures and Runaway Fridge, with backing from Film4, the BFI and the Irish Film Board. Artificial Eye has UK rights while Element Pictures will release in Ireland.

TGiFassy couldn't come soon enough! This has been an emotional roller coaster of a week. Two bad things happened, and two and a half great things happened to help balance out some trying days. This picture of Michael from last year's Prometheus press screening in Paris is very appropriate. Two weeks from today, I'll physically be in London, and days later, Paris. I'm so grateful to all my friends and fans of Fassinating Fassbender. My friend Laurie poked her head in here the past few days and she was greatly impressed with the bond I have developed with many of you. If she sees it, others do too. FF isn't just about me, or Michael Fassbender, it's about US and what we make of this community. The Internet is huge and everyone is free to go wherever they want. But many of you choose to be here, and be loyal to FF as I am to you in providing a fun and informative community for you to enjoy when your life is stressful and you need to escape, if just for a few moments.

So, TGiFassy to my friends here at Fassinating Fassbender. I appreciate you more than you ever know! xoxo

Assassin Creed Summer 2015

Whew! I am so glad to finally hear news about this video game plot with Michael Fassbender. It is still on and we ONLY have to wait a measly 24 months! More from Slashfilm:

There’s been a killer addition to the Summer of 2015. Assassin’s Creed, based on the popular Ubisoft video game series, will hit theaters on May 22, 2015. 20th Century Fox is now on board the project which, at this point, only has Michael Fassbenderattached to play Desmond Miles, the descendant of a long line of assassins who can relive the memories of his ancestors.t this point, no other film is schedule on that date but, if Star Wars Episode VII comes out on its traditional Summer weekend, it’ll be going up against this film. Michael Lesslie is writing the screenplay. No director is attached but with a release date two years away from next weekend, you can expect that to change soon. 

I know some people aren't thrilled about Michael getting involved with a video game franchise, but Assassin's Creed has a strong, STRONG following, and I believe it recently broke a record for most sales of a video game episode/installment. Fact is, people want this and it's coming and it's starring our boy! Assassin's Creed will be the third comic/game role for Michael, name the first two?

A quick note

Hey everyone, just a quick personal note. I had lunch today with Fassinator Myriam and it was lovely to meet her. We will surely be hanging out when our schedule allows. It's nice meeting someone from the fandom and discover that you have a lot in common with them as well! What I wanted to take a moment to pimp was that she wore the V-neck 'Keep Calm and Fassbender On' shirt, in black with the clover and it's beautiful!!! She has bought 4 shirts! And I wore my green 'Toothy Shark' shirt and got lots of attention and one lady said my shirt was very cool. So if you're hesitant about getting a Keep Calm Fassinating Fassbender shirt because you think it's too quirky, please reconsider because the shirts come in so many styles, sizes, and colors that it can really be a unique look for you. After seeing Myriam's shirt, I'm going to buy a black v-neck 'Fassbender On' w/clover. I think the black v-neck in all themes will complement almost anything in your closet.

Frank Update: The Head Stays On! (Updated)

No Fassy Face in Frank.
Well ain't that a bitch. (sigh) Oh well, I did prepared myself but the worse is true, according to Empire Online's review of some footage from Frank in Cannes, the paper head remains on Michael's perfect head for the entire film. There's no word yet on buyers for the film, but we should hear something positive on that front any moment now. Very excited to hear Michael's "deep, rich American accent". So with 'Frank' apparently being Americanized, this is definitely be very loosely influenced from the real Frank, who was British.
Frank


Already much buzzed about due to that first look pic showing Michael Fassbender wearing a Frank Sidebottom-style papier-mâché head, the footage from Lenny Abrahamson’s comedy about a gonzo rock band was the biggest hit among the assembled journalists. The focus here is on Domnhall Gleeson, effectively playing Jon Ronson (on whose experiences the film is based) as he joins a band, only to find that they’re all one capo short of the fifth fret. We got to hear Fassbender speak as Frank, in a deep, rich American accent, but there wasn’t even a hint of the head coming off. And there were plenty of laughs, too, as Gleeson’s character adjusts to the methods of a group that think outside the box. “Somebody’s thinking in the key of C!” bellows Frank, as he and his cohorts run around in a circle. “It’s me! Sorry” yells Gleeson, who is promptly decked by Maggie Gyllenhaal, as the band’s thereminist. Highly promising.

Since it's a very slow Fassbender news week, here's an oldie but goodie of Michael and Daddy Fassbender. It's from Cannes 2008. Surely we'll most likely see Michael at Cannes 2014. :-)

I would like to announce that Barbara B has joined the FF admin team to lend her great love for Fassy and her talented writing skills to helping Fassinating Fassbender become even better! The timing is perfect as she is winding down another academic presentation in Prague about the Fassbender Fenomenon, and Dionne needs the backup support as I prepare for my vacation late next week. For someone who has only been a Fassinator for a year, I am in complete awe of Barbara's intense and respectful interest in enjoying the work of Michael Fassbender, and using her interest, as well as her observations within the fanbase, to use for her personal academic studies and papers in the analysis of fandoms. Fassinating Fassbender has been a petri dish of excellent research material for her, and I'm sure her new role as FF Admin will provide more insight about our FF community, the fans, and Michael. Please welcome her!

TGiFassy!

Michael out on the town with Bradley and friend!

After not seeing Michael for a few weeks, the Fassy Gods and the paparazzi give us the motherload on Friday with pictures of Michael hanging out and having dinner with his pal Bradley Cooper (who was in London for the premiere of Hangover 3), and a cute little mystery lady. Here are just a few pictures of them courtesy of the internet! It's my delusional hope that Michael is still hanging out in London this very time next week because me and Hupsakeek are going to be in London/Hackney having the time of our lives Friday and Saturday. I had fully expected him to be in Montreal filming X-Men right now, but since 800 characters are going to be in the film, it looks like they are still in pre-production mode. But it will literally be any minute now before he is needed on set to start working, so chances are very slim of him being in town by next weekend.

Now that we see that Michael and Bradley are cool friends, wouldn't it be wonderful to see them in a movie together? Anyway, go to Just Jared for the rest of the pictures, and this place too. Thanks to Dionne for emailing me this info. I had such a uniquely shitty week this past week, I didn't even go to yoga last night and just took my ass to bed around 9:30.








And... he's in Montreal

Oh well Hupsakeek, looks like we'll be free of this super distraction called Fassy because he ain't in England no more, he's in Montreal to finally start work on 800 X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Read the rest and see more pictures at J2.

The Hug Part 3

Although Bradley Cooper was in London for the premiere of The Hangover 3, according to these pictures of him with Michael Fassbender, this weekend could be called The Hug 3. I think The Coop is a Fassinator, he's hugging Fassy JUST like how we would. You can't blame him can you? I love the hell out of these pictures. Forget McFassy, I never got on that train, but I'll take two scoops of  Coopbender bromance anytime! We need to mail to Bradley a 'Keep Calm and Hug Fassbender' black v-neck! Who wants to chip in?

Hi everyone! This is my last post before I leave for vacation. The next 24 hours are going to be hectic as I complete my packing and cleaning up my apartment, as well as working half a day before flying off. I just wanted to remind you that you're in good hands with both Dionne and Barbara, and posts will be made if there is something worthy to post up. The comment moderation will be on, so please be patient as it will take only a short time before your comment shows up. Meanwhile, you still have Pinterest as your free for all playground.

If you're interested in keeping tabs on what I'm doing in London and Paris, just click this instagram badge  =>
Instagram and it will take you to my Instagram where you will see the latest images I post. I will only be connected where I can find wi-fi hotspots. I'll also be posting updates on twitter too.

I'm thrilled to be meeting two Fassinators: Hupsakeek in London, and Sorujaa in Paris! I may poke my head in here when time allows.

Buh bye!

I'm in London as you read this, and what better image could be used to celebrate this occasion other than that series of pictures of Michael having the time of his life outside of 34 Restaurant in London, back in January 2012? This evening, Hupsakeek and I will be dining there and we'll have a glass of champagne in honor of our fellow Fassinators here at FF! I don't believe I have seen this picture before. I did crop it a bit to remove the door man, whose hat Fassy is toying with. I like to keep the focus on Michael as often as possible, and I'm sure you understand that!

TGiFassy my friends, I'm thinking of you while I'm living it up in London! xoxo

Fassy Overload & I'm back

Hello everyone! I'm back from my holiday trip to London and Paris, and I'm exhausted. The wi-fi connection was spotty at best, but if you were following me on my instagram, you saw some highlights from my trip. Firstly, I want to say how much I ENJOYED being with Hupsakeek in London. We had an excellent time at 34 Restaurant, and our day spent in Hackney. It is so much fun doing those things with a fellow fassinator. Hupsakeek is a very cool lady and I look forward to meeting her again one day. Secondly, my time spent in Paris could not have been as fulfilling without the tour guide help and company provided by Sorujaa for three of my days there. She is sweet and funny, and very nice! I will post my pictures up at my flickr account as soon as I can. It's a good thing I'm always in Plan B mode and brought my heavier camera because the new small camera I brought spazzed out at around picture number 600. The memory card error thing flared up and you get that when it's filled up to capacity.

I have a lot of catching up to do because I also took a holiday from all things Fassy pretty much, and look what happens. Literally the Fassy Gods vomited up a shit load of stuff while I was away and it's anxiety producing thinking about all the fun stuff I missed just as it came out. But... I have done a quick skimming of tumblr and FF.com/Pinterest and come up with the following:

1. Fassy doesn't have a stalker.
2. The Counselor has been pushed up to October 25 in the US.
3. As per my MF google alerts, ALL the news media/gossip blogs had a collective group orgy about him "officially" dating Louise Hazel. As if nothing else really matters about his life and career as an actor, just his personal life.
4. Michael had a swell time hanging out with the F1 race car drivers in Montreal. Maybe next year he can come to Detroit's Grand Prix event.

And a special thank you to Dionne and Barbara for keeping FF alive and active! I knew I had nothing to worry about with them taking over the helm.

Here are some images I found at tumblr this morning that I think are awesome and help me get back into the swing of things.




Just when you thought Bradley Cooper took over the highly coveted BFF spot in Fassy's life, his Original BFF comes back in the picture to hang out with his bro. Yeah Emerson!


A Fassinating Find

I received an email from Fassinator Sidra who lives in New York City, and she had a public and surprise Fassy situation:

So I was at Lincoln Center yesterday in the at Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center for the Open Roads: New Italian Cinema festival and after my movie screening I went to use the bathroom and I was admiring the photo portraits of actors/actresses on the walls around the hall- and then I saw Michael's pic! I let out an excited yelp (laugh) and couldn't stop smiling. I was so surprised (and happy) to see him up on the wall with other prominent actors/actresses and directors.

Funny when I started taking pics of his pic- the other moviegoers were curiously looking to see who I was snapping photos of.





The pic was taking in October 2011 it said under his name.

And I believe the photographer is Myrna Suarez.

Thanks for this Sidra, what a fun situation to be in. Now matter how much attention one draws upon oneself at the moment of a fassinating Fassy find, you just do what Sidra did her and ignore the other people. Here is Myrna's website with the photo of Michael, and one of Steve McQueen - http://myrnasuarez.com
It's under the thumbnails image collection. What's interesting to note of this picture is his autograph. Usually, Michael signs, 'M. Fassbender' and maybe a personal two word message. But this time he wrote his full name.

BTW, there are some interesting topics going on at pinterest, please feel free to join in.

I have been playing around with the template all day to change the image, but I have encountered some problems. This current image is too small to take up the full background like the previous image from 'Shame'. So that's why I have it set as a semi-tile/non-strolling. I hope you enjoy it for the time being, it's my aim to change the picture every two months or so. Trying to be mindful that based on the size of your computer screen, the image may be distorted, so please bare with me. Thanks!

For this template, it is best to view it in Google Chrome or Firefox. It does not work well with Internet Explorer because IE sucks.
