You may recall Michael Sheen played the boyfriend of Tina Fey on 30 Rock last year. Now they will be starring together in the film Admission, along with Paul Rudd. From THR:

Paul Weitz (About a Boy) is directing the project from Karen Croner’s script. It’s about an unmarried college admissions counselor (Fey) who strikes up a romance with a man (Rudd) she knew when she was in school.

Sheen will play Fey’s stiff British boyfriend. On NBC’s 30 Rock, his character — comically named Wesley Snipes — dated Fey’s Liz Lemon.

 

Michael Sheen and several other notable actors, including Armie Hammer, John Malkovich and Ben Kingsley, have all been cast in the film Cut Bank. Details from Deadline:

Set in Cut Bank, Montana, Patino’s script tells the story of Dwayne McLaren, a young auto mechanic and former high school football star who wants to get the hell out of this tiny town frozen in time. His attempt to do so sets in motion a series of events that will change his life, and the life of Cut Bank, forever.

Congrats Michael!

Here is what IndieWire is reporting!

If you’ve kept up with us since we dropped our intial Cannes Film Festival piece back in February, a lot has changed and the field is becoming narrower and more clear in terms of what films and filmmakers are headed to the south of France. It requires a bit of moving puzzle pieces, and putting together bits and bobs of information, but the writing on the wall is beginning to appear, and today, the one moving the pen is The Hollywood Reporter. The trade has likely made a few phone calls of their own and been watching the landscape and today they reveal that “On The Road” and “Cosmopolis” — two movies already widely expected to hit the fest — are pretty much locks, while The Weinstein Company’s “Cogan’s Trade” (aka “Killing Me Softly”) is “expected to be on hand.” So what else can we expect?

The full lineup lands on April 19th. The Cannes Film Festival runs from May 16-27.

First up, while doing press rounds for “The Woman In Black,” Oakes teased to Bleeding Cool that “I think you’ll see the next [Hammer Film] within a year.” He also told the site that the next project was tentatively “The Quiet Ones” with a script by “Rampart” writer-director Oren Moverman, though Exclusive Media – who oversees Hammer Films productions — cleared that one right up by later announcing that screenwriter John Pogue would be writing the film. Though Oakes’ mistake is understandable, as it seems this “poltergeist movie,” as Oakes refers to it, did indeed receive an early draft by Moverman. Regardless, the premise sounds promising as Oakes explains that it’s “based on a true story about a bunch of young scientists on a University campus who get led astray by a sort of Svengali-like professor of physics and they go out and create a poltergeist, an ectoplasm from negative energy. As you can imagine, it goes really badly wrong. It’s based on a true story, an event that happened in Canada in the mid-70s.” The Exclusive Media press release states that the film is planned to be shopped at the European Film Market this week and hopefully they’ll help sales by landing a star – Bloody Disgusting report that Michael Sheen has been offered the lead role.

Michael Sheen has been cast as William Masters in the new Showtime drama Masters of Sex.  Lizzy Caplan has also been cast as his on-screen cohort. From TV Line:

Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan are the new Masters of Sex.

Showtime has tapped the pair to headline its drama pilot based on 1960′s human sexuality pioneers William Masters and Virginia Johnson.

The project is based on Masters of Sex: The Life and Times of William Masters and Virginia Johnson, The Couple Who Taught America How to Love, Thomas Maier’s book about the 1960s human sexuality pioneers.

 

For starters, in the Best Picture category, two Twilight castmate films were picked – The Help, which stars Bryce Dallas Howard (“Victoria” in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse), and Midnight In Paris, which stars Michael Sheen (“Aro” – Volturi). Midnight In Paris also received several other nominations, including Best Original Screenplay and Best Director.

Gil Birmingham’s Rango (he voiced the character “Wounded Bird” for the film), meanwhile, was nominated for Best Animated Feature. That’s about as good as it can get with these animated pictures, so congrats to Gil and the whole Rango team.

Next up, actor Demian Bichir was nominated for Best Actor for his work in Summit Entertainment’s A Better Life – a film which was directed by The Twilight Saga: New Moon director Chris Weitz.

In other Malick news, Michael Sheen revealed toMark Kermode and Simon Mayo [via The Playlist] that he shot a scene for the untitled drama:

“My girlfriend [McAdams] was in a film that Terrence Malick did so I went to visit her on set, and apparently, if you’re an actor and you turn up on a Terrence Malick set, he asks you to be in his film. So I got to be Ben Affleck’s boss for a day.”

Sheen is a nice addition to the already great cast of Affleck, McAdams, Olga Kurylenko, Javier Bardem, Rachel Weisz, Barry Pepper, and Jessica Chastain.  Neat insight into Malick’s process, too.  The director is known for removing characters in post-productions: Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Sheen, Gary Oldman, Bill Pullman, Lukas Haas, Jason Patric, Viggo Mortensen, and Mickey Rourke all shot scenes for The Thin Red Line that were edited out by the final cut.  Sheen’s role sounds like a very good candidate for the cutting room floor, but we’ll see.

Here is the press release.

Award-winning actor Michael Sheen has shared his favourite childhood Christmas present with The Salvation Army.

Currently appearing on stage in Hamlet at the Young Vic, Michael has taken time out of his busy schedule to reflect on past Christmas gifts – as part of The Salvation Army’s Christmas Present Appeal.

Best known for his performances in Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Frost/Nixon, The Damned United and The Queen, Michael said: “One year when I was 7 or 8, we had Christmas at my grandmother’s house, which I loved. I got an astronaut outfit and never took it off.”

Major Ray Irving, Territorial Social Services Secretary said: “Michael has proved he is a true star by brightening up our Christmas Present Appeal and sharing this special memory.

The Playlist reports that Michael Sheen has been cast in Terrence Malick’s upcoming untitled film, which also stars Ben Affleck and Rachel McAdams.

The eagle-eyed folks at The Film Stage have done some digging and revealed that bothAmanda Peet and Michael Sheen headed to Oklahoma to take part in the shoot last year. The former expounded on her experience on the set, which for many who work with the director, is unlike anything they usually experience.

[...]

As for Sheen’s revelation, it was a bit more cryptic. Doing press rounds for “Midnight In Paris” during the summer he said, “Well I’m very excited to be able to work with people likeWoody [Allen] — and Terrence Malick as well, this year. Hopefully I’ll be able to carry on working with these people whose work I love to watch.” It’s safe to say he’s talking about the untitled drama, but who knows, maybe he’s the wiseass narrator of “Voyage Of Time.”

INSIDE the cosy auditorium of London’s Young Vic, Michael Sheen will make his hugely-anticipated debut as Hamlet tonight.

Tickets for the three-month run have, unsurprisingly, been among the fastest-selling in the theatre’s 41-year history.

For it seems that everyone wants to see the award-winning Welshman tackling Shakespeare’s anti-hero.

His portrayal comes just a short time after two other high-profile actors – David Tennant and Jude Law – took on the role and it’s also something Sheen has been planning for a while.

When it was first announced that he would be teaming up with director Ian Rickson for his modern day setting of the Bard’s tale, the actor who is renowned for portraying ‘real people’ including Tony Blair, David Frost and Kenneth Williams, warned audiences that he wanted to make it “uncomfortable”.

In a new article from The Times, we get to know “The real Michael Sheen.”

Yes, who is he? Michael Sheen shakes my hand and sits down. We’re in some kind of costume room at the Young Vic, where he’s rehearsing. He wears an old black T-shirt and black jeans. He is 42. For such a top-notch actor, I know almost nothing about him. He’s always been very guarded. I’ve read that he had a terrible split with Beckinsale in 2003, when she went off with Len Wiseman, the director of the film, Underworld, they were both working on. I can hardly imagine anything more crushing. And I’ve heard that, some time before this, he punched the actor Jeremy Northam, on set, when Northam said something rude. Apart from that, all you ever hear about Sheen is that he’s very bright and that he was once extremely good at football.

We sit at a table. Someone has brought me a glass of wine. Sheen doesn’t drink much alcohol. He likes to keep control. He’s Welsh, with a mellifluous voice. He spends most of his time in Hollywood, where he has a small three-bedroom house in an ordinary suburb close to the Hollywood Bowl. Not quite Beverly Hills. He moved there to be closer to his daughter, Lily Mo, now 12. He hasn’t got a house, or even a flat, in London. When he did a play in Wales last Easter – a 72-hour performance of The Passion in Port Talbot – he stayed with his parents. For the time being, he’s living in a flat down the road provided by the theatre. His girlfriend is Canadian actress Rachel McAdams – they met on the set of Midnight in Paris, the new Woody Allen comedy.

Twilight stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner have all be pre-nominated for the 2012 People’s Choice Awards.

PCA released their pre-nominations (users vote on the nominees in each category ahead of time), and each of the three received a bid for individual awards.

Now, keep in mind that The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and the cast were all celebrated at this year’s People’s Choice Awards in January, so if the nominations look scant, it’s because of that.

Here are their pre-nominations and links to vote for each:

• Favorite Movie Actor – Robert Pattinson
  

• Favorite Action Movie Star – Taylor Lautner

• Favorite Movie Star Under 25 – Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner

Some of the Twilight Saga family’s other work has been nominated as well.

There’s quite a bit more Oscar buzz for several of the films that our Twilight cast has been a part of this year! This list comes to us courtesy of The Guardian.

[Elizabeth Reaser] Young Adult. Director Jason Reitman (Thank You For Smoking, Juno, Up in the Air) takes another shot at analysing first world problems with a drama about a recently divorced author (Charlize Theron) who returns to her home town in an attempt to woo a married ex-boyfriend. Theron and writer Diablo Cody (pictured above with Reitman and Juno star Ellen Page) already have an Oscar apiece for Monster and Juno respectively. Reitman, with two directing nominations but no award, must be itching to join them

[Kristen Stewart] Another vaguely delayed project is Walter Salles’s take on the Jack Kerouac classic. Should On the Road make it into cinemas before the voting deadlines end, there could be the jangle of gongs for Salles, or cast members Kirsten Dunst, Kristen Stewart, Garrett Hedlund and Sam Riley

[Bryce Dallas Howard] The Help. A 1960s period piece on race relations in small-town Mississippi. Director Tate Taylor’s folksy morality tale could play well with the voters who nominated The Color Purple for 11 Oscars back in 1985. Based on a best-selling book by Kathryn Stockett, The Help follows three women – two black maids working in white households and a white college graduate – as they attempt to challenge conventional attitudes to race and place in southern society. Viola Davis, previously nominated for her performance in Doubt (2008), is the one to watch here. But Emma Stone and the ubiquitous Jessica Chastain also feature

[Charlie Bewley] Like Crazy. LA boy Anton Yelchin and London-based girl Felicity Jones weather the dips and highs of a long distance relationship in this low budget romantic drama. So far, so mumblecore. But then there’s the Grand Jury prize it picked up at Sundance, and the bidding war that followed (Paramount won out to the tune of $4 million). And the critical acclaim for Jones’s prize-winning performance. With the right promo, the Academy could well fall for it

[Michael Sheen] Woody Allen’s most profitable film ever hasn’t had critics completely swooning, butMidnight in Paris should still pick up a screenwriting nod, even – whisper it – one for best picture. Owen Wilson plays the wannabe novelist who steps back in time and starts carousing with the likes of Hemingway and Fitzgerald

[Anna Kendrick, Bryce Dallas Howard] Half oafish comedy, half cancer diary – it’s hard to set the odds on this one. From Brick to Inception, 50/50 lead Joseph Gordon-Levitt has proved himself a friend of Hollywood’s art crowd and the money men both. He’s a good bet for a best actor nomination eventually, but whether this is the film to provide it is debatable. Oscar likes its illnesses serious (Philadelphia, Rain Man, A Beautiful Mind), not stoner (Seth Rogen is on board as Gordon-Levitt’s best mate). Still, at least they renamed the thing – it’s tough to imagine anyone announcing: ‘And the Oscar goes to … I’m With Cancer‘

In a new interview with USA Today, Michael Sheen recognizes the variety of roles currently on his resume, and can appreciate each of them for what they are.

He’s had memorable roles in the Twilight series as a royal vampire, a werewolf inUnderworld and as Tony Blair in The Queen and HBO’s The Special Relationship, and that kind of variety keeps him busy as well as entertained.

“The big stars in our industry are partly big stars because they’re recognizable for doing a particular kind of thing, and I’ve never really been that interested in doing that. It’s the difference in parts that I play that I enjoy the most,” explains Sheen, who appears in November’s Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part 1 and the indie comedy Jesus Henry Christlater this year.

“I’m not surprised that people might go, ‘Well, hang on. He’s the guy who plays the politicians.’ Or, ‘No, he’s the guy who does the werewolves and vampires.’ I’m not really looking to become the sort of actor who gets known for doing one thing. I quite like the fact that people don’t know what column to put me in.”
