Brendon Gleeson Talks “At Swim-Two-Birds” Casting
While word of Fassbender joining the At Swim-Two-Birds cast was unknown until recently, in an interview conducted with The Playlist last week while promoting his indie comedy/thriller, The Guard, Gleeson said, it’s actually kind of old, under-the-radar news.
“That happened about a year ago really,” he said of Fassbender’s addition to the cast. “People never picked up on it, maybe because Michael wasn’t really quite the massive name he is now. But we were trying to tell people for ages, ‘By the way, listen: we have the coolest thing on two feet coming in.’ I haven’t asked any [actor] who said they wouldn’t do it. At this point I’ve been fretting about it to the extent that I don’t fret it anymore, I don’t sweat it at all anymore. I know that I’ll know what to do once we get out there. And it looks like next spring is going to be when it’s going to happen.”
One assumes that means financing is in place and the film will be ready to roll come April of 2012, but Gleeson is not counting his chickens before they hatch, understanding full well the mercurial nature of film budgets and financiers.
“It’s looking good, but I don’t believe anything now, anything ever,” he said. “I can tell you as long as the day is long, ‘Oh definitely, it’s going to happen,’ and all that, but until I’m actually there, I don’t believe it. But at the moment it’s happening, I can feel it. It’s all looking good.”
At Swim-Two-Birds stars Gabriel Byrne, Colin Farrell, Cillian Murphy and Michael Fassbender. (Source)
“Shame” Secures a UK Release Date
Momentum Pictures and Alliance Films have today announced that Steve McQueen’s highly anticipated movie, Shame, has been pencilled in for a January 13th, 2012 release date in the UK. The film reunites the artist/director with Michael Fassbender, who starred in McQueen’s unflinching and powerful debut film ‘Hunger.’
Shame revolves around Fassbender’s character Brandon, a 30-something man living in New York who is unable to manage his sex life. The film is said to be an examination of the nature of need, how we live our lives and the experiences that shape us. I’ve got real high hopes for this film, I was huge fan of Steve McQueen’s Hunger. The likes of Carey Mulligan, Nicole Beharie and James Badge Dale co-star. ’Shame’ will receive its world premiere, playing in competition, at the Venice International Film Festival and also feature at the Toronto International Film Festival this September.
