Michael Fassbender (300, Assassin’s Creed, Jonah Hex, The Snowman) to star in KUNG FURY
- Thread starter Scullibundo
- Start date
Maybe Fassbender is just prepping for his Nicolas Cage biopic.
Next thing on his list: do some acid and have Werner Herzog film it.

What could possibly derail this whacky com....

Fassbender has to be one of the more notable examples of an actually really talented actor who seems to actively want to tank his career.
Oh christ.
Oh christ.
The 80s are an infinitely mineable source of cultural hilarity. Just the new hair rock and synthwave music generated for this movie alone could power a city for decades.
I like how the movies in the title are far from his best work. Has no one ever seen Steve Jobs, Frank, Shame, Hunger, Macbeth, 12 Years a Slave or even First Class and Days of Future Past? Or is that to relate to the action/nerd demographic? I don't get it.
Anyway, I don't think Kung Fury will adapt well to a feature length movie. The pacing of the short film was the perfect dose of crazy.

Eh, Sean Penn & Johnny Depp are still getting paycheck after paycheck. Gary Oldman's about to get a fucking Oscar.
not really, he still gets the Oscar roles regularly, he needs to pay those mansion bills
Can't imagine this working at feature length.
Also, Danger 5's second season did the whole absurdist 80's action parody thing better.

My god. Someone convince Fassbender to get a new agent pronto! After The Snowman, that man is a couple of films away from starring in the next Sharknado movie.
Agree, Kung Fury was super try hard and had zero heart
I'll just watch Turbo Kid again
It's a joke.
The Snowman probably looked like a great idea at the time. Wasn't there studio interference or something?
Good talent involved, real shame it was so awful...
I used to say that in the other forum all the time. I remember I got blasted for even suggesting that he was taking on horrific roles.

I don't know what's funnier. That you missed the obvious joke, or that you mention First Class alongside Shame and 12 Years.
And you trying not to put DFPin that shit group is also pretty damn funny.
I don't think people should be so worried about his career path trajectory, just a couple years ago he did Macbeth, Slow West and Steve Jobs in the same year. There's room for few occasional X-Men and Kung Fury flicks. He's not Daniel Day-Lewis you know, he will easily jump from project to another.
Yeah Scorsese was originally attached to direct that, I think he still worked as a producer.
Thread title took me a while to read. I already saw it ended with Kung Fury and knew there would be news today, but my eyes started on the Michael Fassbender. I felt like I was stuck in a moment in time, thinking "Am I really about to read this? It can't be, but let me think about this movie for a minute."
Then, I got to the part of the title that reads KUNG FURY, and went back to the beginning of the sentence to make sure I read the actor name right. Along the way, I was reading over the film titles trying to think of another actor in all four that would be more appropriate.
Then, I got back to Michael's name for confirmation, and all I could think is, "Oh, yes!"

Had to legit look at the date. The i thought maybe other countries have their "fools day" on different day... and month?
Just to be clear, we are talking about a studio sequel to this?

You didn't offend me. I was replying to the condescending tone of your reply to mine. No hard feelings.
Honestly it belongs there too, just thought I'd highlight the lesser of the two.

The first film I can think of that Fassbender is actually bad in.
