I know, I know, you're still wondering where
Michael Fassbender is. Well, he's apparently
that guy with
that thing on his head, standing next to
Maggie Gyllenhaal and
Domhnall Gleeson. This definitely looks strange, but hey – at least we can say that we have the first official image from
Lenny Abrahamson‘s upcoming comedy simply titled
Frank. Check out the rest of this report & take a better look at this (weird-looking) cast!
Written by
Jon Ronson and
Peter Straughan, and directed by
Lenny Abrahamson, the movie follows young
wannabe musician who discovers he's bitten off more than he can chew when he joins an eccentric pop band led by the mysterious and enigmatic Frank.
Oh, eccentric! See, that's why Fassbender looks like an idiot!
Frank is based on the memoir by
Jon Ronson and is a fictional story loosely inspired by
Frank Sidebottom, the persona of cult musician and comedy legend Chris Sievey, as well as outsider musicians like Daniel Johnston and Captain Beefheart.
Michael Fassbender (obviously) plays Frank,
Maggie Gyllenhaal is his terrifying sidekick Clara, and
Domhnall Gleeson stars as that young wannabe musician named Jon. The rest of the cast includes
Scoot McNairy,
Carla Aza and
Francois Civil.
Frank is still without an official release date, but, as usual – we'll keep you updated!
In the meanwhile, make sure you click on the image for a better look & let us know what you think!
