Hugh, James, and Michael filmed the Twitter/Yahoo Q & A and appeared on the Graham Norton show. Videos and pictures to come later.<br />

A tentative release date is for March 2016, and noted elsewhere is filming will start in August. <br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The French film magazine, Premiere, has the X-men cast on the cover this month.<br />

More films are coming our way and we need to continue enjoying Michael's work.<br />
<br />
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. <br />

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.<br />
<br />
Third, one of the last awards is out and your vote counts. <a href="http://www.mtv.com/ontv/movieawards/2014/movie-of-the-year/" target="_blank">MTV Movie Awards</a>, 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.<br />
<br />
Fourth, Michael is still working on MacBeth in Scotland and England. <br />

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." <a href="http://www.defendingbigd.com/sxsw-2014/2014/3/11/5495992/sxsw-14-review-frank-michael-fassbender" target="_blank">Review</a> 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.<br />

12 Years A Slave:<br />
<br />
Won Best Film and Chiwetel won for Best Actor. Congrats to the winners!<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
Instead, lets bask in the picturesque offerings from the show:<br />

<br />
Sorry for the years of slacking. Not on purpose. Too much happening. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
We are slowing coming back. <br />
<br />
And Michael's career is full steam ahead.<br />
<br />

Michael and James are looking great as the two leads of this film.<br />
<br />
Even as we write, the film is still being shot in L.A. or surrounding areas, while editing is being done. Remember, this is expected to be released on June 3, 2011. Of course, what we all want now is a trailer, to really see what's been going on with all the filming. <br />
<br />
During the release of these photos, James was promoting "Gnomeo and Juliet", briefly talking about his role in the film. You can read James' thoughts about his work <a href="http://screenrant.com/james-mcavoy-xmen-class-interview-professor-x-rothc-97608/">here</a> and <a href="http://www.cinemablend.com/new/James-McAvoy-Talks-X-Men-No-Bald-Xavier-No-Wolverine-And-Re-Shoot-Details-22771.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Also, with the release of these photos, an interview with Michael about his role as Magneto, surfaced on <a href="http://entertainment.msn.com/news/article.aspx?news=623079">MSN</a>.<br />
<blockquote>MSN: What drew you to play this character and take on the challenge of assuming a role established by Ian McKellen?<br />
<br />
Michael Fassbender: Hopefully I won't disappoint the fan base out there, because I know that what Ian McKellen did sort of latched onto a lot of imaginations and was very successful. But what drew me was the script and Matthew Vaughn and the fact that James McAvoy was going to be playing young Xavier. I thought it was a fresh take on the whole story. I've never been a big comic book enthusiast, but I thought it was an interesting concept to go back to when they were both friends and initially came together.<br />
<br />
After you signed on for the role, did a box come in the mail packed with hundreds of "X-Men" comics for you to peruse?<br />
<br />
Yes, it did, and I got knee-deep into them once I got involved. That was all my source material, because it's all there in the comic books in terms of a backstory and formulating the character. I did also watch the other films and took notes from those, but took most of my references from the comic books.<br />
<br />
As someone coming to this from a sort of open perspective and not really being a fan, what did you learn about this character?<br />
<br />
He's such a complex character, really, and the idea of him being a villain is interesting considering his history (Lehnsherr is a Holocaust survivor who lost his family in the camps, and later lost his wife and daughter) ... he's a very solitary individual, and the pain and grief that's gone on even before we meet him in this film is an interesting pool of information to draw from, in coming up with this Machiavellian character for whom the ends justified the means. You can see where he's coming from. Human beings don't have the greatest track record in what they've done throughout history, so his point of view is, "Well, we are the next stage of evolution -- (humans) are to us what Neanderthals were to Homo sapiens."<br />
<br />
He's always been a fascinating character because he's not completely wrong, but thinks that everything he does is right, no matter what the cost.<br />
<br />
He's an extremist, and that's always a dangerous place to be. By the time we leave him at the end of this movie, he's become very clear about what he wants and his decisions and his game plan.<br />
<br />
Early word on the movie's story line draws parallels between Xavier and Lehnsherr and Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X in terms of the methods they use to achieve their goals. Did that comparison come out for you while making the film?<br />
<br />
You don't set out to play these things that way, but it's a good parallel to have in the back of one's mind, as something to take from real life as a reference. I didn't study any Malcolm X videos or anything like that. But it clarifies where both these characters are coming from. Hopefully by the end of the film, the audience is like, "Damn, why didn't these two guys stay together?" They have enough in common and not in common to keep each other in check, and hopefully the audience will feel like they could have worked together for the greater good.<br />
<br />
The words "reboot" and "prequel" are thrown around so much these days, and are sometimes even used interchangeably. Is this a reboot of the entire "X-Men" franchise, or a true prequel where you could watch this and then sit down and watch the three earlier films and see a connection?<br />
<br />
I think the fundamentals are the same. The main thread of the story is still the same. I don't really know how to answer the question because I haven't seen this one yet, so I haven't had a chance to watch it side by side with the other ones and see if they're relative to each other. Hopefully they are, I think, but also we want to do something fresh as well and open a whole new chapter with this without totally betraying what was laid down before.<br />
<br />
One of the criticisms of "X-Men: The Last Stand" (2006) was that a lot of mutant characters were jammed into the film, introduced and then never developed. There are a lot of mutants in this film as well, but from your perspective are they handled better here?<br />
<br />
The cool thing about this movie is that I think it does deal with each individual mutant, and the ones they've chosen are all very much individuals and unique personalities with unique gifts. What's interesting is that we've gone back to a period where the mutants don't know that there are other people out there like them. They just think they're freaks and outcasts from society ... all of these new characters are fearful of their gifts and uncomfortable and misplaced in society, so hopefully when they all sort of come together and realize they're not alone and feel more comfortable in their own skin, that's a discovery for all the characters that you experience.<br />
<br />
The film is set in the '60s and Vaughn has said he wanted to capture a certain look -- specifically referencing the James Bond films of that era. He has also said that the costumes will be more like the comics' versions and not the black rubber look of the other "X-Men" films. Can you comment on both of those ideas?<br />
<br />
There's a scene where they just sort of transformed this hall in London into Buenos Aires Airport, and I just looked around this mock airport and said to myself, "My God, I've just had a feeling of being in the '60s." From the colors to the costume designs to the production design itself, there's a sort of nostalgia in the air when you look around the room. It's just from my own perception of the '60s, and all that came with it in terms of the music and the fashions and so forth, but all of that comes across in the visual references that we all have. All of that is there to encapsulate the feeling of that era, for sure.<br />
<br />
As for our costumes, we went back and forth on so many things. We added things that worked in the comics, took them away again, and stripped them down again. ... When it came to the Magneto suit, you know, there's various stages of what has been done with it, but you will have something that is traditional to the comics. There is a helmet (laughs), which is of course essential to keep Charlie-boy out of my head, and the colors are also kept traditional to the comics, that sort of red and purple. I don't know if I'm giving you too much, but I'll say it anyway (laughs).<br />
<br />
Fans of the "X-Men" franchise were not completely happy with the way that the third film, "X-Men: The Last Stand," was handled, even though it was financially successful, and there were grumblings about the "Wolverine" film as well. Is there a sense that you've set out to earn back the fans' trust with this one?<br />
<br />
I certainly hope so. My face is gonna be up there and my name is gonna be attached to it. I've got a lot of faith in Matthew, and everyone is very passionate and working very hard to earn back any trust that's waned a little bit from the last film.<br />
<br />
This interview is one of the first of the early stages of prerelease publicity for the film, which has been kept very much under wraps until now. Any other thoughts that you want to get out there about the movie at this point?<br />
<br />
Well, I just hope that this and some of the photos that are being released will whet the fans' appetites for the summer. Hopefully they'll be excited.</blockquote>It looks like Michael has a pretty good grasp on playing Magneto, don't you think? <br />
<br />
Also, director Matthew Vaughn spoke here and there about his on going work and the plan behind the story. You can read it <a href="http://insidemovies.ew.com/2011/01/22/x-men-first-class-matthew-vaughn/">here</a>.<br />
<br />
We'll be looking forward to promotions, magazines and more articles as the release date gets closer. <br />

Being that the film will be a limited release (DARN!), it will be released in NYC and L.A. first, and then spread out to the rest of the country. We hope it finds a place near you, because this is a film you shouldn't miss.<br />
<br />
In more Jane news, a new version of the novel will be released right before the film is released. The new novel will include production notes from the film, with the cover promoting the new film. We are completely excited about this, because we hope that just as we read this book in school, that this version will make it into the schools one day. We will definitely add this to our collection.<br />

An interesting project if we do say so.<br />
<br />
Michael's character is an android, named David. According to <a href="http://www.indiemoviesonline.com/news/fassbender-to-join-rapace-in-prometheus-012711">IndieMoviesOnline.com</a>, David "<span style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-size: auto auto; background-attachment: scroll; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat;">is an android crew member. He will be some sort of forebear of the Bishop 341-B character, played by Lance Henriksen in Aliens and Alien3. As the character has been compared to Bishop and not the traitorous Ash, played by Ian Holm, we are presuming that the other crew members will be aware of his origins. This is the role that Fassbender has signed up for."</span><br />
<br />
<span style="-moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-size: auto auto; background-attachment: scroll; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat;">We're guessing that filming will start after promotions for "X-Men" is done, around early summer. Here's more about film locations: </span><span style="font-style: italic;">"Part of the film will be shot in Morocco. I’ve heard that some sort of archaeological dig where they discover alien DNA takes place there and that DNA gives them the coordinates for an alien world. I’ve also heard Morocco is being used for alien planet landscapes so I’m not sure if it’s an archaeological dig on another planet." </span><a href="http://movies.sky.com/exclusive-prometheus-plot-reveal-aliens-are-in-it">Source</a><br />
<br />
Interesting concept. <br />
<br />
There's still some more characters to cast, but for right now, it's Michael and Noomi Repace as the lead female in the film. We'll be waiting to hear who else comes aboard for this space trip.Fans of Michael Fassbenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01602607586194855504noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834640061073441827.post-57871968458664675612010-11-15T21:54:00.000-08:002010-11-15T21:54:17.616-08:00Getting a Hand on "Shame"A sales poster for "Shame" featuring minimalistic art, surfaced last week, thanks to MFO and Collider:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzToX6n7Q2ggKdVBQUKlt1QJx2hCOm5Jtw1P-dlrK_0I3zas1ND1Jo5IlIWx_RTROpUQzw7cv33WqXNAXSgmJ-_K591qyJxPFJ1THk2UvAyX93EcyppsWoc1eYHgl_qULV8xF2O4Ovly0i/s1600/shame-poster_steve_mcqueen-567x600.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzToX6n7Q2ggKdVBQUKlt1QJx2hCOm5Jtw1P-dlrK_0I3zas1ND1Jo5IlIWx_RTROpUQzw7cv33WqXNAXSgmJ-_K591qyJxPFJ1THk2UvAyX93EcyppsWoc1eYHgl_qULV8xF2O4Ovly0i/s320/shame-poster_steve_mcqueen-567x600.jpg" width="302" /></a></div>You see a hand against glass, and a head hiding down maybe from the shame he's feeling.<br />
<br />
Or involved with something,<br />
<br />
Or who knows until the film comes out.<br />
<br />
For those who watched "Hunger" and followed Steve McQueen's work throughout the process, minimalistic is common in his film work. The first poster for "Hunger" was just a half black, half white poster with a quote from the film. The second poster for "Hunger" featured the feces painted wall.<br />
<br />
Minimal.<br />
<br />
But minimal says a lot. It gets your mind going and thinking, what exactly is this about? What time in my life do I remember being in that position? Or others?<br />
<br />
This film will start production in January, pretty much right after X-Men is done. It's one project after another for some time now.Fans of Michael Fassbenderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01602607586194855504noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834640061073441827.post-53466882076848200522010-11-12T01:30:00.000-08:002010-11-12T01:34:37.274-08:00Michael IS RochesterIt didn't take long for the studios to put out a trailer for "Jane Eyre". In fact, it was the very next day after the poster was revealed on Monday.<br />
<br />
Here's the video:<br />
<br />
<div><object height="400" width="376"><param name="movie" value="http://d.yimg.com/nl/movies/site/player.swf"></param><param name="flashVars" value="vid=22939910&"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed width="450" height="324" allowFullScreen="true" src="http://d.yimg.com/nl/movies/site/player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="vid=22939910&"></embed></object></div><br />
We've been holding our breath with this film, because so many naysayers weren't sure about Michael's ability to portray such a brooding, mad character. If you've read our earlier posts about Michael's talent, you know that we've been trying to make people understand that he's done this before. We knew he'd 'hit it out of the park' as we say in the states.<br />
<br />
And he does.<br />
<br />
People all over the place have been sharing their thoughts about how great Michael looks and performs in just this little snippet of film.<br />
<br />
We're very happy fans.<br />
<br />
We knew he could do it. There was no doubt in our minds.<br />
<br />
Many film enthusiasts, who have been following Michael's career recently, chimed in their excitement. Most Jane Eyre book purist also expressed their anxiousness in seeing this 'gothic' tale.<br />
<br />
We are relieved.<br />
<br />
Now, we just have to wait for the film to hit theaters.<br />
<br />
While we wait for pre-movie interviews, press junkets, premieres, etc, you can take a look at some of the sites that have posted screen capsfrom this little trailer.<br />

As fans of Michael's work, we all wondered what a 'film asset' was.<br />
<br />
Then a tweet came through from the distributor:<br />

We went around thinking, maybe a poster?<br />
<br />
When we got online, we saw various news sites post about the new item:<br />

(we're two for two now, wishing for something and having it come true-see previous post for Fable III...hmmm). <br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 1.3em;"></span></span><br />
We think that Michael's character is going to be somewhat of a secret surprise until studios or promotions put out stills. <br />
<br />
It's a very simplistic poster, which we like. It's very mysterious like the story itself. We like that it does somewhat feature Michael's profile. We don't think there would be happy fans if Michael was left out from the first poster. It's also protrays a beautiful profile of Mia as Jane. <br />
<br />
The film comes out March 11, 2011, but don't worry. In a few months, or sooner, we'll start hearing about promotions, maybe interviews or something like the press junket/'premiere' for "Fish Tank" in NYC. We hope it gets more of a promotion because Mia is better known by film enthusiasts.<br />
<br />
Other things to note in the Michael world:<br />
<br />
"Centurion" and "Jonah Hex" have been released in the states on dvd/blu-ray. "Fable III" has been released in the states, UK and Japan. "Jonah Hex" will available in the UK on dvd/blu-ray on December 27.

Part 2Someone must have read our last post, because we had voiced our wishes to see more behind the scene of the making of "Fable III", and voila! Out comes a longer version of behind the scenes. <br />
<br />
The video has interview clips and recording work for most of the major characters voiced by Simon Pegg, Sir Ben Kingsley, Jonathan Ross, John Cleese, Stephen Fry, Nic Hoult, Bernard Hill, Zoe Wannamaker, and of course, Michael Fassbender.<br />
<br />
Take a look at what the actors have to say about their characters and what they thought about the process of making the video. If you are really into the game, there are some great tips at the end of the video. <br />
<br />
<object height="340" width="410"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iRK7bkGYKps?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iRK7bkGYKps?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="410" height="340"></embed></object><br />
<br />
And even better?! The video is continued....maybe the videos will be released in a weekly fashion, in order to drum up interest in the game.<br />
<br />
Many of the actors are on Twitter. Here are just a few of them.<br />

Other well known voices include John Clees, Simon Pegg and Ben Kingsley.<br />
<br />
Michael's character is Logan, the 'evil' son of a king who has passed on, leaving his kingdom to his two sons. According to reports, the object of the game is to defeat Logan and become the new king of the kingdom.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, a new behind the scenes video came out, showcasing voice actors, including a scene from Michael's recording. Quite a treat for fans of Michael and of the game. <br />

See Michael near the end of the video, around 1:30 or so. We hope to see more behind-the-scenes clips, and maybe an interview about the experience. <br />

<blockquote><i>John Maclean’s film short ‘Man on a Motorcycle’ starring Michael Fassbender will be screened at the 54th BFI London Film Festival!</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Synopsis: “A ‘day in the life’ of a London motorcycle courier at breaking point in his profession and his life.” The short was shot on a mobile phone.</i></blockquote>A mobile phone? That's quite an achievement and quite ballsy. With portable video shooting, film making is at your fingertips. <br />
<br />
Show dates are 26, 27 September. To get tickets go to <a href="http://www.bfi.org.uk/lff/node/1117">BFI.com</a>. You'll also see screencaps from all the film shorts, including one of Michael from the film. <br />
<br />
Check out <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1530897/">IMDB's page</a> for the short, with a couple of screencaps from the film.<br />
<br />
If you are in London during those days, make time to watch those shorts and other films offered by BFI. <br />
<br />
As Michael has a fondness for motorbikes, here's an extra treat-a miscellaneous bike shot.<br />

Get ready for the fantastic work of director Steve McQueen and actor Michael Fassbender. According to Variety:<br />
<blockquote><i>Brit artist-turned-helmer Steve McQueen is reuniting with thesp Michael Fassbender for his second directorial effort, "Shame," which sales company HanWay Films will introduce to buyers at the Toronto Film Festival, which starts on Thursday.</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>Fassbender will play Brandon, a 30-something man living in New York, who is unable to manage his sex life. The drama, penned by McQueen and "Brick Lane" scribe Abi Morgan, will examine the nature of need, how people live their lives and react to the experiences that shape them.<br />
<br />
Lensing will begin in January.</i></blockquote><blockquote><i> </i></blockquote>For those of you who became familiar with Michael's and Steve's work in "Hunger", you were probably hoping that the two would get together again to create a new work of art. You wish has been granted.<br />
<br />
If you are not familiar with "Hunger", you really should check it out. Steve is a real artist and Michael and the whole cast are riveting. You can order your copy through MFO's Amazon store located for<br />

or<br />

<br />
"Hunger" won a bunch of awards for both Steve and Michael all over the world. For those of use who watched the whole process with "Hunger", from filming to starving to winning awards, we are exceedingly happy for this news. And those who got to know Michael's work and Steve's work through "Hunger", probably wanted to see more. <br />
<br />
"Hunger" was Steve's first film and Michael's first leading role in a film, if you don't count "A Bear Named Winnie," which was actually a movie made for TV. <br />
<br />
We'd love to think that "Shame" will really put the duo up among the best of the best of actor/director combos and even might nudge them both into the Oscars.<br />
<br />
We can bet that the film will be thought-provoking, provocative, artistic, and well done.

For Fassbender fans, there's only one poster we want to see-a fantastic visual feast appeared on the internet. <br />
<br />

It's really good to see Michael being showcased as part of this film.<br />
<br />
There's nothing wrong with a simplistic poster. Some have mentioned that it's not 'artistic' or that it doesn't say anything about the film. But to Fassbender fans, it says a lot. It says that he's one of the main characters in the film, that the studios seem fit to put his face on poster in order to help sell the film. And that he's an important part of the film. <br />
<br />
Personally, we don't care for a real busy poster, with all the artwork. It reminds us too much of video games, which we don't really participate. But as we always say, to each their own. <br />
<br />
As we've been reading the comments about this poster, there are questions being asked that are easily answered. <br />
<br />
One comment was about how Michael's look is reminiscent of Clockwork Orange. Good catch! According to Michael's own words about his character Burke:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.movieline.com/2009/08/the-verge-michael-fassbender.php">http://www.movieline.com/2009/08/the-verge-michael-fassbender.php</a><br />
<blockquote>I’ve heard you had a lot to do with conceiving your villain in Jonah Hex.<br />
<br />
I kind of got my ideas from makeup and wardrobe, to be honest. I had sort of a basic idea where I was going with the character, but it actually really changed massively when I arrived in New Orleans and met up with Michael Wilkinson, who did the costumes on 300 as well. And then Christien Tinsley was doing makeup, and he basically put these tattoos on that start at my chin and go all the way down my torso and up my forearms. So I had that look, and I thought, “Whoa, that’s kind of cool and interesting,” because it was Polynesian and suggests that the guy was a sailor, perhaps. On top of that, Michael had this three-piece suit, this suit that was kind of dandyish in its time but had been broken down and was kind of rough and ready now, and when I went through hats and put on this bowler hat, I thought, “I’ve got it. It’s sort of Clockwork Orange, or 1970s Riddler.”</blockquote>Since the posters have come out, the studios have been slowing showing trailers and ads on tv. We've seen up to 8 or 9 different ones right now. You can find most of them on Youtube and they will be on our site at <a href="http://michaelfassbender.multiply.com/">Multiply.com</a> under "Videos". We'll be posting all the videos we can find on there. So check often for your video viewing pleasure. <br />
<br />
If you want to see the first two TV spots, go to the <a href="http://jonah-hex.warnerbros.com/">Jonah Hex movie site</a>. You should also check out the film site, because they've updated the site with games, downloads, comics, and other stuff. The rest of the character posters are there, too. <br />
<br />
There are now three trailers, and we really like the latest web trailer. It shows more of a story within the film. <br />

<br />
Other interesting news, mainly a rumor, but NECA, the toy company who distributed and sold the "300" figures (which we were waiting for a third wave and never came, maybe they'll change their mind if the film comes out on 3-D), is also distributing the "Jonah Hex" figures. A youtube reviewer mentioned that there is plans for a second wave of figures, with possibly one of "Burke", Michael character. We will finally get a great action figure of Michael's character.<br />
<br />
As a collector, we know that figures and dolls only capture a moment of a look, and we can only imagine how the figure might turn out.<br />
<br />
We say to NECA, if they do put out another wave of characters with Burke, we will buy the whole set...all 6 of them, and maybe a few extra Burkes to give away for gifts. We gave away some of the 300 Leonidas as thank you gifts to friends.<br />
<br />
Jonah Hex comes to US theaters on June 18. Hope to see you there! <br />
