Bit confused by the 1800s line. Just saw some set photos if Fassbender with a big ol' dollop of fake tan on and Pitt in a cowboy hat with long hair. Almost makes me want to drive down to London with my Fight Club steelbook and get Pitt to sign it

No, it was a little different with him in a white coyboy hat and suit. Fassbender was in a full on modern suit with modern day setting.

Ah, would be a joy to go see them and get some stuff signed and take some pictures but i need somebody to help find these locations

That's "The Counselor", Ridley Scott's new movie. They are doing two movies together, that one and twelve years with Mcqueen.

There weren't any such filming photos like that from this film

Scottie · 06-11-2013, 06:13 AM

Words can't even express how much I want to see this film.

Both Hunger and Shame were fantastic and Michael Fassbender is shaping up to be one of my favorite actors of the current decade or two.

I really want to read this book, but I always buy books and never end up reading them. Ugh.

djgeneral · 06-11-2013, 06:21 AM

sounds pretty good!

BJKH · 06-11-2013, 06:29 AM

I can't wait to see this movie. Great cast, interesting story. Hopefully Michael Fassbender will get nominated for an academy award for this film. I know he'll be fantastic.

Bought this book the other day. Looking forward to reading it.

I like Steve McQueen's work thus far. The cast also seems pretty good.

jan_tran · 06-16-2013, 08:45 PM

According to early test screenings there's a 10-15 minute scene of a girl just scrubbing a bathtub. Should be fun.
