Good News: Two Michael Fassbender Films!

Michael Fassbender

Double your pleasure, double your Fassbender.� Two films that one of the hardest working men in show business, Michael Fassbender, has had in the can for quite some time have finally been picked up.��A Dangerous Method, directed by David Cronenberg and starring Fassbender as Carl Jung, Viggo Mortensen as Sigmund Freud and Keira Knightley as the woman who comes between them, has been picked up by Sony Pictures Classics (a very class act, as the name would suggest.) No release DATE, however, has yet been announced.

The other film is Steven Soderbergh?s�Haywire, which has been rescued by Relativity Media. The film involves a black ops ?super soldier? looking for revenge after she is betrayed and set up during a mission. The soldier is played by MMA Gina Carano. In addition to Fassbender, the cast includes Channing Tatum, Ewan MacGregor, Michael Douglas and Antonio Banderas. The cast alone has me curious. I can?t imagine these actors all in the same movie.

It sounds like this film might have been part of the same package that has Relativity releasing Marc Forster?s�Machine Gun Preacher this fall, since Ryan Kavanaugh?s company is handling domestic distribution for both�Haywire and�MGP and Lionsgate will handle foreign distribution

After bouncing around the 2011 calendar, Relativity has set a January 20, 2012 release date for�Haywire.
