Prometheus 2 News

According to the Prometheus News Website, Prometheus 2 is a go.  A tentative release date is for March 2016, and noted elsewhere is filming will start in August. 

The biggest news is that Michael will be back as David.  In fact, there will be more "Davids" in the next film.  Don't know if we can handle more than one David, but we're excited to hear about this sequel.

The French film magazine, Premiere, has the X-men cast on the cover this month.

Found on Tumblr

We love to see other sites write about Michael and here's a one with general information about him:

Until next time....

Moving On...Frank at SXSW

So, now that most of the major award shows are over and everyone has come to terms with the winners and "not-winners" it is time to move on.  More films are coming our way and we need to continue enjoying Michael's work.

First, congrats to all the awards that "12 Years A Slave" won.  By now, cinephiles already know, so no use repeating.  We're happy for Steve, Michael, Lupita, Chiwetel, and the rest of the cast and crew.  Much deserved.  Michael appeared with his sister at the Independent Spirit Awards and the Oscars with his mother.  




Second, the film is out on DVD, just in time for the excitement of the awards to continue.  We haven't seen it so we cannot comment, yet.

Third, one of the last awards is out and your vote counts.  MTV Movie Awards, where you can vote for best picture, best actor, best actress, and best villain, where "12 Years A Slave" are involved.  Michael has been nominated as best villain and from what we've heard, he's really ugly onscreen.

Fourth, Michael is still working on MacBeth in Scotland and England. 

From JustJared.

Lastly, "Frank" had a showing at SXSW.  It had been screen at Palm Springs Film Festival and Sundance last year.  Here is the official trailer:


The reviews are good and Michael's performance has been described as ''truly shines in a role that keeps his well-known mug off screen and hidden behind the fake head." Review  It is not a film for everyone, but if you like quirkiness, odd music, and great performances, "Frank" is a film to be watched.  We'll be looking forward to a release in our area.

Until next time...

12 Years A Slave:

Won Best Film and Chiwetel won for Best Actor.  Congrats to the winners!

Michael, Best Supporting Actor nominee did not win.   We were disappointed in not seeing or hearing his win, but that's ok.  Michael's best is still yet to come.  He's still a top wanted actor and as long as he keeps bringing in the fans, awards doesn't mean much.  Awards are only made from a few, minority groups telling people what they thought was good.  Awards are subjective, which is our favorite word of the time.  Awards are the opinions of few.  It doesn't weigh in the hearts and minds of those fans who enjoy their favorites' works.  It doesn't necessarily pay the bills.  A lot of great actors have made a career without ever getting an award.  And there is the other side.  Many who do win, never get another big opportunity.  There are theories about the awards and the statistics that can show that it really doesn't matter.  It's nice to be recognized, but it doesn't always give you the work you want. 

Instead, lets bask in the picturesque offerings from the show:









Michael is still sporting his "MacBeth" beard, which looks dashing for him.

Here are some videos with Michael on the red carpet.







We learn that Michael will be filming a new project called "Trespass Against Us."

So, who really cares if Michael wins an award?  Fans know he is worth more than an award that is forgotten at the next award show.

From a Long Hiatus

Hello fans!

Sorry for the years of slacking.  Not on purpose.  Too much happening. 

Our original blog hosting site closed last year and we had to clean and archive stuff.  But no worries, things have been moving to the forum. 

We are slowing coming back. 

And Michael's career is full steam ahead.

Right now, he's in Scotland filming "Macbeth." 

The pictures look pretty cool.


WOW! 

Time to pull out another school book to reacquaint ourselves with the story.

He just finished a western in New Zealand called, "Slow West."

He's also been nominated in all the award shows for best supporting actor.  He's too busy to stop.

Look forward to "X-men 2" this year.

In theaters now or soon are "12 Years a Slave" and "Frank". 

DVDs out now are "The Counselor" and "Prometheus".
