what the fuck is with AICN sucking this movie's cock? by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Dec 5th, 2008 03:48:30 PM
It looks boring as fuck. Not interested. I'm going to see Punisher.

Great movie...FROST/NIXON that is. by FuckMichaelBay	Dec 5th, 2008 04:03:35 PM
U3 will suck if Jesus was in it.
Terrific interview, Beaks by bravogolfhotel	Dec 5th, 2008 04:04:16 PM
I'm a sucker for process stories, so I loved all the time you devoted to Sheen's approach. Will you be doing a FROST/NIXON review of your own?
This guy was awesome as Tony Blair by TheHumanBeingAndFish	Dec 5th, 2008 04:07:59 PM
Loved him in "The Queen" and "The Deal". I thought he was fun in "Underworld" as well. Good interview.
Thanks, bravogolfhotel by mrbeaks	Dec 5th, 2008 04:11:44 PM
FROST/NIXON review coming. Combining it with MILK since both are, technically, late.
GREAT INTERVIEW! by My Mom Is A Whore	Dec 5th, 2008 04:18:34 PM
Possibly the best I've read here on AICN!

Clint Howard, is that you?
No, Danny, I'm actually Rance Howard by bravogolfhotel	Dec 5th, 2008 04:21:34 PM

Then fuck you from Florida.
Well, as Bob Newhart would say by bravogolfhotel	Dec 5th, 2008 04:37:18 PM
"Same to you, fella!"
Great interview. by raw_bean	Dec 5th, 2008 04:38:43 PM
And he seems like a really cool guy. Nice to read a review with an actor who understands that good Sci-fi and fantasy is a lens through which to understand the real world better, not just escape from it.
TheHumanBeingAndFish: by bravogolfhotel	Dec 5th, 2008 04:40:58 PM
Right on. I'm dying to see if the putative third Peter Morgan Blair movie that was announced last year gets made.

Michael Sheen banged Beckinsale in her prime! by blackmantis	Dec 5th, 2008 06:09:33 PM
For this, he is more man that any of you.
Fantastic interview, Beaks. by DarthCorleone	Dec 5th, 2008 06:10:53 PM
This interview has made me a Sheen fan. I just watched Frost/Nixon last night and thought he did an extremely good job, but prior to that I wasn't even very aware of his roles. Hearing this level of appreciation for the art and process itself as well as giving props to genre flicks (and Philip K. Dick) convinces me that he's a good guy worth rooting for in the industry.
Holy shit! I never knew that Mr. prim and proper by skimn	Dec 5th, 2008 06:17:36 PM
Michael Sheen aka Tony Blair, was Lucien. Even that photo obscures his physicality. Talk about getting into character.
Yeah, you should have asked him about Beckinsale's knocks. by dr sauch	Dec 5th, 2008 07:19:56 PM
That would have been totally sweet! Wicked awesome!
bravogolfhotel by TheHumanBeingAndFish	Dec 5th, 2008 07:20:46 PM
I didn't know there was third Peter Morgan Blair movie in the pipeline .. thanks for the heads-up!
underworld was tosh! by FILMFUNK	Dec 5th, 2008 07:58:33 PM
He was good as Blair and alright as Ken Williams cept for the black felt tip round his nostrils!
DarthCorleone - I second that by antonphd	Dec 5th, 2008 09:00:15 PM

True Story.

He's playing the White Rabbit. Stephen Fry is the Cheshire Cat. Christopher Lee is Jabberwocky and Barbara Windsor is the Dormouse. Cheers.
Some of the most eloquent and insightful responses I've read in by brokentusk	Dec 6th, 2008 04:25:56 AM
I haven't seen THE QUEEN yet (although I'm not sure what's stopping me, I've wanted to since its release), nor have I seen THE DEAL. I didn't hate both UNDERWORLD films released so far, but I didn't get blown away by the performances either. After reading this interview, Michael Sheen is now officially on my radar big time. Can’t wait for FROST/NIXON, it looks excellent. Great interview Beaks, really interesting.
... I've read in a while. by brokentusk	Dec 6th, 2008 04:28:12 AM
Edit function please. It's almost 2009, not 1386 AD.
Great interview by Biowolf	Dec 6th, 2008 09:37:17 AM
Thanks Beaks. I have been a Michael Sheen fan for a while and love his work. I think he is very talented and hope he gets lots of work.
I hope it's The Mad Hatter... by workshed	Dec 6th, 2008 05:05:03 PM
...though Robert Helpmann takes some beating.
This interview has also made this dude from NY a Sheen fan. by Orbots Commander	Dec 6th, 2008 05:21:56 PM
We need more great actors in genre flicks. And although I don't know the play, I'll be sure to catch Frost/Nixon. On a side note, if he's not playing the Chesire Cat, and if Depp is the Mad Hatter, then Sheen is likely either Tweedledum/Tweedledee or the King of Hearts. Of course, I'm assuming that Burton is going to use CG performance capture for the White Rabbit and the giant smoking caterpillar.
Maybe I'll give Lycans a chance by Teddy Artery	Dec 6th, 2008 07:59:03 PM
He was pretty good as Tony Blair.
