Hereā€™s something to look forward to for 2017: bad Michael Fassbender! While developments from Terrence Malickā€™s upcoming Weightless have come at a glacial pace, we know that itā€™s about musicians around the Austin scene. In an interview with the Times, Michael Fassbender dropped a reassuring detail that he plays a ā€œLucifer-like characterā€ in the new movie. Fassbender also said heā€™d shot scenes withĀ Iggy Pop and former Sex Pistol John Lydon and got along with the musicians ā€œlike a house on fire.ā€ The rest of theĀ cast is stacked (Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara, Natalie Portman, and more!), but as with much of Malickā€™s work, thereā€™s no telling which stars will end up in the movieā€™s final cut. Weightless is rumored for release in March 2017.
