Michael Fassbender (300, Assassin’s Creed, Jonah Hex, The Snowman) to star in KUNG FURY
- Thread starter Scullibundo
- Start date
Because at half an hour it basically did everything it set out to do and making the same thing but an hour and a half long seems like its going to stretch the premise and what made the short film work to the absolute breaking point, if not well beyond that. A lot of these purposefully schlocky throw backs to grind hoes movies or 80's cheese or what not often fall flat on their face as at best they're aping an aesthetic and style of film without seemingly doing all that much beyond exaggerating things that existed before. I think a lot of these people making these films forget that 80's movies weren't trying to be "80's movies" but were just movies of the time period.
Damn, both him and Alicia Vikander are not great at picking projects.
It's the video game movie curse.

I don't get why people are hating on Fassbender and his agent for this. This could be a project he's actually interested in. He, for all we know, loved Kung Fury like most of us.
With that said, I don't see how they could take it and bring it to a feature length film. It's kind of already perfect.

If anything, the original short film dragged on too long. The gag got tired for me after about ten minutes.
It sucks because some of his film choices weren't obviously terrible, they just turned out bad.
Nobody was going to turn down working with Ridley Scott.
And as for the snowman, Thomas Alfredson was coming off the back of Let the right one In, and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, which are both amazing... buuuut. It happened again.
Assassins Creed was like a pet project financed by his own production company right? Macbeth wasn't terrible either, but again, the guys next film absolutely sucked.
At least he'll always have Steve McQueen. I imagine they'll team up again.

Hmm honestly can't tell whether you missed the joke or twisted the blade 360 degrees.
He was genuinely interested and passionate about Assassin's Creed. Look how that turned out. He's an extremely talented actor with awful career instincts, a good manager should be mitigating that.
His last 3 big roles were in AC, Alien Covenant, and The Snowman. Not great.
Ok..so what? A project turning out worse than expected doesn't taint your career if you keep doing other good work.
Well to be fair, Assassin's Creed had much of the same creators as Macbeth. Same director, writer (one of them), cinematographer, composer and both had Fassbender and Cotillard of course. It had many of the right ingredients to be good but they botched it.
Realistically it's only been like a couple years of shitty movies. He got a best actor nom for Steve Jobs in 2015, macbeth was a year later I think
But he's in a lot of crap too so it kind of taints the big picture I guess
Hopefully he bounces back again. Dude is so damn good when given a decent script
Hell, he was the sole good thing about the last two alien movies as well
That cinematographer basically hit the mist and smoke button. It was one of the worst looking films I've seen. So over detailed and messy.
I don't get how he read the script and thought it was good. I also don't know what the DP was thinking with the entire aesthetic for the movie. It failed on so many levels that it could have easily succeeded at.
He was also really interested and involved in the production of AssCrud.
That movie lived up to that name.
You're one of the most popular actors in the world and what do you do?
You pull a Jeremy Irons on your career.
Willingly.

Mind blown, I've seen that movie so many times and just never noticed.
