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. :-)
