Posters for Damsels in Distress, The Pirates and Seeking a Friend for the End of the World!

New Posters! Gityer Red Hot Posters here!

First up, a colorful new poster for the new Whit Stillman film we told you about recently, Damsels in Distress. I like the poster. It emphasizes the fact that this is a comedy. The film follows a trio of beautiful girls who set out to revolutionize life at an East Coast College – the dynamic leader Violet Wister (Gerwig), principled Rose (Megalyn Echikunwoke) and sexy Heather (Carrie MacLemore).  They welcome transfer student Lily (Tipton) into their group which seeks to help severely depressed students with a program of good hygiene and musical dance numbers. The girls become romantically entangled with a series of men, including slick Charlie (Brody), dreamboat Xavier (Hugo Becker) and the mad frat pack of Frank (Ryan Metcalf) and Thor (Billy Magnussen)—who threaten the girls’ friendship and sanity.

Damsels in Distress opens in NY & LA on April 6 and 20th April in the UK.

The Pirates: Band of Misfits wants you to “Laugh Your Booty Off”.  Having seen the trailers, especially on the big screen, that may be an exaggeration, but I do think you’ll have fun.

Pirate Captain (voice of Hugh Grant) sets out on a mission to defeat his rivals Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven)  and Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayak) for the Pirate of the year Award. The quest takes Captain and his crew from the shores of Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London.

The Pirates: Band of Misfits opens 28th March in the UK and April 27 in the US.

Finally we have a first poster for a new movie that we haven’t talked about yet. Seeking a Friend for the End of the World stars Steve Carell and Keira Knightley in a film with an unwieldy title but a promising premise: As an asteroid nears Earth, a man finds himself alone after his wife leaves in a panic. He decides to take a road trip to reunite with his high school sweetheart. Accompanying him is a neighbor who inadvertently puts a wrench in his plan. It will be nice to see Keira Knightley in this type of a dramedy/romance.

“Set in a too-near future, a man searches for a meaningful connection as humanity’s last days are at hand. Can he find his greatest love at the worst possible time? As the respective journeys of Dodge and Penny converge, the two spark to each other and their outlooks – if not the world’s – brighten.”

The film marks the directorial debut of scriptwriter Lorraine Scafaria, (Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist).  It also stars Melanie Lynskey, Connie Britton, Patton Oswalt, TJ Miller, Derek Luke, Rob Corddry, William Petersen, Gillian Jacobs and the suddenly ubiquitous Adam Brody. Seeking a Friend for the End of the World opens June 22 in the US.

More Proof That Michael Fassbender Has More Fun Than the Rest of Us!

More Proof That Michael Fassbender Has More Fun Than the Rest of Us!

Happy Thursday cats and kittens. For today’s daily Fassbender, we have some photographic images of our man Fassbender having fun, hanging out, goofing off, having a smoke, all while looking effortlessly cooler than you. I have to say, I like the fact that Fassbender doesn’t bother to hide the fact that he smokes. He’s a smoker, it’s his life. He has to do it on the street (although apparently he was asked to leave steakhouse 34 when he lit up inside. He does that) where the air is already clogged with the smog from a bazillion cars. ¾ of all of the actors you’ve ever seen smoke, but most of them either do it on the sly or hypocritically deny they do it at all. Fassy says, “Get over yourself.”

Another accolade has been heaped upon Fassbender as well. A pop culture website called Nerve has come out with the “Third Annual Nerve Awards for Love & Sex on Film”. Michael Fassbender and Keira Knightley in A Dangerous Method were chosen as having the “Sexiest Sex Scene of the Year”.  Fassbender, along with play pals DeeDee Luxe, and Calamity Chang also earned Runner-up status for their ménage-a-trois in Shame.  (It’s entirely possible the voting body at Nerve missed the point of that film, but oh well, there was sex on screen.)

Who needs the Oscars? {He} don’ need no stinkin’ Oscars!  Enjoy the pics!

Michael Fassbender Wants to Lead

Michael Fassbender Wants to Lead

Happy Humpday Guys and Dolls. Here's your daily Fassbender Report:

Last night I mused about where the after party would take place for the London premiere of A Dangerous Method (and what exactly would take place there and in what permutations). The location was “steakhouse 34”, the assembled company was  gorgeous, since the party was also a celebration of Keira Knightley’s GQ UK March cover story. (If you'll recall, Fassy was the cover boy for the February issue.) As for what went on, well apparently Michael Fassbender did a lot of dancing…with Viggo Mortensen and GQ UK editor Dylan Jones.  I guess who was leading was up for grabs, but I’m going to go with Fassbender. There’s nothing submissive about him, if you get my drift.

Also included in the issue: GQ UK’s 50 Best Dressed Men List. Quite a few of our favorites made the cut (probably because quite a few or our favorites are Brits). Check out number 39.  Ohhhh yeaahhh…

The March issue of British GQ is on newsstands March 2.

Fassbender, Knightley and Mortensen Premiere A Dangerous Method in London!

Fassbender, Knightley and Mortensen Premiere A Dangerous Method in London!

Another impossibly attractive trio celebrated the gala premiere of their movie in London tonight. This triumvirate however, Michael Fassbender, Keira Knightley and Viggo Mortensen, has a tad more gravitas than the cast of This Means War. The three walked the red carpet in support of their film, David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method. The film opened in the US last fall and even had a gala screening at the BFI London Film Festival, but believe it or not is just opening in wide release in the UK. Hey, anything that gets Fassy in front of a camera, I’m all for it. He can go to the opening of an envelope and I won’t mind. Fassbender’s megawatt shark smile was on full display, as was the beginnings of his “vacation beard”.

Ya know…I might make fun of Keira Knightley because she’s built like a ten year old boy, but she can’t help that (and I’m just jealous) and the fact is, she is stunningly beautiful. (And a damn fine actress. Remember, it's all about 'the work'.)  I absolutely adore the photo where she’s looking over her shoulder at the camera with a cheeky grin because Viggo Mortensen’s got his hand on her ass. Let’s face it, this is a good looking group. Wonder where the after party was…Hmm? What?

Speaking of cheeky, Viggo Mortensen appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman in support of the film and he told an elaborate story about Michael Fassbender’s “preparation method”. (The Fassy story starts around 9:50)

 

Michael had his opportunity to set the record straight when he appeared on the show a few nights later

 

Mortensen is so deadpan that he’s easily mistaken for having no sense of humor, but it’s hilarious that he was able to tell that story with a straight face and get Letterman to believe it!

Enjoy the pics of the premiere!

Intense New Clip from A Dangerous Method with Michael Fassbender & Keira Knightley!

New Poster for A Dangerous Method!

David Crongerberg's A Dangerous Method starring Michael Fassbender as Carl Jung, Viggo Mortensen as Sigmund Freud and Keira Knightley as Sabina Spielrein, a woman who is a patient of both and the lover of one, deals with the intense relationship between Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud that gives birth to psychoanalysis. We’ve been talking about this one for months and I personally am ready to see the damn thing already!

Seduced by the challenge of an impossible case given to him by his friend and mentor, Freud, the driven Dr. Jung takes the unbalanced yet beautiful Sabina Spielrein as his patient using the methods of his master, “the talking cure”.  Both men fall under Sabina's spell. 

This is a terrific new clip, called “A Stupid Mistake”, in which Jung, expresses regret (and guilt) for his behavior and tries to end his physical &/or romantic entanglement with Spielrein.

Written by Christopher Hampton (Dangerous LiasonsAtonement), based on his play “The Talking Cure”, A Dangerous Method has been all over the festival circuit in the past few months to generally favorable reviews. It’s now playing in New York and LA for an awards qualifying run, but doesn’t open wide until January  and not until 10 February in the UK.

New Poster for A Dangerous Method!

New Poster for A Dangerous Method!

More Michael Fassbender! Woot! There's a terrific new quad poster for David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method starring Viggo Mortensen, Keira Knightley and Michael Fassbender which after taking yet another city by storm when it played the New York Film Festival last week, will travel to London for the BFI London Film Festival. (Ya gotta love festival season.)  Now this poster I like. A Lot. It showcases all three stars equally while still suggesting that it is Knightley's character that comes between Mortensen and Fassbender.

 
Mortensen plays Sigmund Freud; Fassbender, Carl Jung and Knightley Sabina Spielrein, at first a patient of both, then the lover of one, then a prominent mind in the field of psychiatry in her own right. The film is the story of the relationship between Freud  and Jung  and how that relationship changes when Jung's adherence to Freud's theories are challenged by new patients Spielrein and Otto Gross (Vincent Cassel).
 
I am loving this "Year of the Fassy". In addition to A Dangerous Method, he's also been taking Steve McQueen's Shame around to all of the same festivals and is earning equally high marks for both. The year both of those high-brow films will be released began with the upscale popcorn epic X-Men: First Class (and will be bookended by Steven Soderbergh's Haywire in January.) Now that's the mark of a true movie star.
