Michael Shannon's 9 Craziest Roles

13 June 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

Here’s a good question: Has Michael Shannon ever played a normal guy? You know, just your average, every day, run-of-the-mill sort?

There’s just something about Shannon that makes Hollywood think "nut job," to the point that it was probably inevitable that he was cast as the villainous General Zod in "Man of Steel." It's hard to pick the nine craziest roles of a man known for almost always bringing the crazy, but if we had to choose ...

9. Bobby Monday, 'Premium Rush' (2012)

He's a cop with a severe gambling addiction, and he's chasing after Joseph Gordon-Levitt on a bicycle. Honestly, does it get much wackier than that? Well, when you're Michael Shannon it's hard to say, but that doesn't make his villainous turn in "Premium Rush" any less crazy. In fact, he's totally f***ing nuts in this as he tries to recover a high-stakes boat ticket »

Michael Shannon talks about finding something sympathetic in General Zod for 'Man of Steel'

11 June 2013 11:00 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

I'm not sure what I expected from Michael Shannon's take on General Zod, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't what I got. That should not come as a shock, though. Michael Shannon has been slowly but surely cementing his reputation as an actor capable of surprising in any role, and the more work of his I see, the more convinced I am that he's one of the great character guys in film at the moment. Anyone who can play the tortured father from "Take Shelter," the shithouse-crazy ex-solder in "Bug," the hilariously irritated cop in "Premium Rush," and General Freakin' Zod, »

‘Runner, Runner’ Trailer: Behold the Exotic Dangers of Student Loans

6 June 2013 12:30 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Lets say for a moment that you’re young and good with numbers. Imagine then that you’re also smart enough to get into a prestigious university. What happens next? You get saddled with massive student loans to pay for an high class education. The next step is to turn to gambling and waste away all that money, obviously. For the most part, The Lincoln Lawyer director Brad Furman’s latest movie deals with such a situation. Runner, Runner stars Justin Timberlake as a young man who tried and failed to pay off his post-secondary education with online poker winnings. With limited options remaining, he jets off to an ambiguous Caribbean island to investigate whether or not he was cheated, only to find himself wrapped up in the web of an online poker magnate (Ben Affleck) with a messy agenda and a propensity for bouts of crazy. Some kids will do anything for a good education these »

Disney's Million Dollar Arm Starts Filming with Jon Hamm

31 May 2013 1:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

Disney has announced that Jon Hamm's new film, Million Dollar Arm, has started shooting. The movie is being directed by Craig Gillespie (Fright Night), and also stars Bill Paxton, Lake Bell, and Alan Arkin. Here's what the film is about:

Based on a true story, Disney’s “Million Dollar Arm” follows Jb Bernstein, a once-successful sports agent who now finds himself edged out by bigger, slicker competitors. He and his partner Aash (Aasif Mandvi) will have to close their business down for good if Jb doesn’t come up with something fast. Late one night, while watching cricket being played in India on TV, Jb comes up with an idea so radical it just might work. Why not go to there and find the next baseball pitching sensation? Setting off for Mumbai with nothing but a gifted but cantankerous scout (Alan Arkin) in tow, Jb stages a televised, nationwide »

Jeff Nichols Orders Midnight Special

8 May 2013 12:21 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

After making waves with Take Shelter and his latest, Mud, writer/director Jeff Nichols is now contemplating his first studio film, stepping aboard a science fiction project at Warner Bros. called Midnight Special. And just who will he have starring in it? Why, regular collaborator Michael Shannon, of course!The two have become firm friends since Shotgun Stories and Shelter and Shannon is obviously also a hot property these days given he’s starring in one of Warners’ massive summer releases, Man Of Steel.Everyone involved is staying quiet about the plot, though Variety suggests that it’s a present-day chase film. With Shannon’s experience running, driving and shouting after Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Premium Rush, we wonder if he’ll be the chaser or the chasee…Nichols’ Mud hits our screens on Friday and he’ll be gracing the Empire Pod-booth, so keep an ear out for that too. »

Michael Shannon, 'The Iceman' Star, Talks Killer Characters, 'Man of Steel,' and Bodily Functions

30 April 2013 9:54 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

The last thing you expect to hear when you're heading to interview Michael Shannon, the intense actor from "Boardwalk Empire," "Premium Rush," and "Revolutionary Road," is his singing. This is especially true given the movie we're here to talk about: "The Iceman," a grim, based-on-real-life thriller about Richard Kuklinski, a mafia-affiliated hitman who claimed to have murdered dozens of people in his career. (His story was infamously chronicled in two "Iceman" HBO documentaries that aired in 1991 and 2001.) It turns out that Shannon had been up until 6 a.m. (you read that right) the night before, and was feeling agreeably loopy. During much of the interview, the actor was trying to free a pair of gummy bears that had been lodged at the bottom of a tiny glass jar. At one point, he got up to get a spoon so that the gummy bears could finally be his. All this made »

Michal Shannon: 'Man Of Steel' Will Blow Your Socks Off

29 April 2013 6:59 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Michael Shannon isn't intimidating in person, as many of his characters are. Shannon is far too polite to be intimidating, but he does have a way of somehow combining intensity with a devil-may-care flippancy that, when mixed, is equal parts charming and intriguing.

An example of that dichotomy: Shannon, best known for "Boardwalk Empire," "Take Shelter," "Revolutionary Road" and countless other films, is wearing a nifty suit when I meet him at his Manhattan hotel room. By the end of this interview, that suit will be littered with the fragmented shells of the peanuts that Shannon was eating and then washing down with red wine. Again: devil-may-care.

In Shannon's new fact-based film, "The Iceman," he plays Richard Kuklinski, a man who went by the name "The Iceman," based on his lack of emotion when it came to mob-ordered murders -- murders that could top over 200.

Shannon seems a bit »

Acclaimed writer, director and producer Alan Ball (True Blood, Six Feet Under, American Beauty) brings his brand new action drama series, Banshee to the UK on Monday 29th April. Banshee stars Antony Starr (Rush) as Lucas Hood, an ex-con and master thief who assumes the identity of the sheriff of Banshee, Philadelphia, where he continues his criminal activities, even as he’s hunted by the shadowy gangsters he betrayed years earlier.

Going hell for leather, this series opener follows Lucas as he makes his way to Banshee to find his former partner-in-crime and lover (Ivana Milicevic, Casino Royale). The good news is that they are indeed reunited. However, the bad is that his ex has since changed her name to Carrie and created a new life for herself complete with defence attorney hubby (Rus Blackwell, Battle Los Angeles) and two kids. Shovelling salt into the wound, Carrie is also no »

#InsaneLetter: Michael Shannon's Dramatic Reading of a Sorority Letter

For those that listen to the podcast, this is essentially Michael Shannon reading one of our #GoodCommments segments as Funny or Die comissioned the actor to read an insane sorority letter that went viral last week. This is just one of the reasons I'm looking forward to seeing Shannon as General Zod in Man of Steel and exactly what you should expect from the man who gave one hell of a performance in the little seen Premium Rush last year. Enjoy! Oh, yeah, this includes A Lot of language that's not safe for work. »
