I don't understand where the interview is coming from. She is asking Fassbender massive questions, questions that are pretty heavy to answer . It's like a personal interview under the guise of a promo interview. Like "Give me the meaning of life NOW". I think this sort of thing is his worse nightmare as far as interviews go. Big questions, no feed back, bang into the next one. Doing this s..t all day must be draining!
I thought exactly the same on viewing that interview just now. The questions weren't film-related, and Michael came across as guarded and measured and his answers were quite wishy-washy (the final answer could have applied to pretty much any of his films). He's not going to give away any deep, personal opinions he has on these topics to someone who's interviewing him for a film.

You know what? Maybe it's me and the actors I follow (I don't follow anyone as I do with Michael, Alicia and few others) but it's perfectly normal to see these kinds of interviews when it comes to love movies promotions.. I remember people asking the same questions to Ewan McGregor for Moulin Rouge, to Alicia Vikander for TDG, to Tom Hiddleston for The Deep Blue Sea and even for Crimson Peak.
I know it's not easy to reply, especially when you have a certain amount of minutes to reply and people around you and you know the world will see you. It's a bit uncomfortable but it's perfectly okay, IMO.. I mean, every time you are in a movie about these topics (love, friendship, loss, social issues) they ask you questions about your point of view etc.. It's a bit intrusive but at the same time interesting and very human. I'm glad to see his point of view about love and life, I have never heard him taking about this before. I really enjoyed it and I also found him cute when he was trying to find the right words to express his feelings/opinions. No doubt he was sweating haha, it's a really hard series of questions [emoji23][emoji177]

My view is at least he spent some effort to answer properly. The questions asked are quite general and not personal, eg your view of enduring power of love.

How amazing! Alicia seems to know exactly the right people to talk to.

All she asked was about TLBO and mentioned 'girlfriend Alicia'. Don't see how he would be annoyed by her in their brief interaction.
I've never read other reports on Deadline,Variety,THR written by the "right people".
We don't know what she asked or her tone because there's not a video.

You are missing the point. Margot Robbie is a more of a known quantity because of WOWS. That is what I was saying and that was in reference to the cover. As for Macbeth and Tulip Fever, again, no comparison. No one cares about Tulip Fever. No one cared then, no one cares now. There is no clamoring because it hasn't been released. People were talking about Macbeth prior to release wondering what happened to it and when it was coming out. It's gross may have been low, but it was released. Tulip Fever has not been. In fact, to add insult to injury, it was pulled about ten days prior to release. So, no, again there is no comparison.
They could have replaced her with another actress without any effect on the reviews and box office. She hasn't really done anything relevant since then. The only reason why she was on the cover is promotion (The Legend of Tarzan and Suicide Squad). Her publicists are obviously crafting the usual "actress to watch" narrative.
I've compared the poor/nonexistent promotion.

But I read om tumblr that Cianfrance is a psycho manipulator who ordered Alicia and Michael to have sex and live together for the sake of realism and that's how Michael was mind-controlled into dating her. Is it possible that's not true? :lol:
:lol: And Gosling was so traumatized by his methods that he worked with him again.

See I was going to apologize for that time I said he was dumb as rocks bc he's so articulate and thoughtful here and obviously making an effort not to say "sort of" every other word but then people on tumblr are saying he's struggling and awkward here?

I guess they're the same body language experts who have decided that he can't stand her in the other interviews.:p

Found this on IMDb. Looks nice and no spoilers [emoji57][emoji1316][emoji178]
I was going to post these other reactions. Great!:smile:

An article on Tulip Fever's delay published in the Sunday Times today (I've put the whole thing in AV's thread, if anyone's interested). Just a couple of paragraphs relating to TLBO:

Thanks. :smile:I doubt that is the reason. I can understand why the producer Alison Owen is disappointed. Tulip Fever is her project and she has been trying to realize it since 2004.

This. It's why he pauses before answering. We should also take into account that they spend hours for these interviews trying to find new answers for the same questions.

Yeah they always ask the same damn questions when actors are promoting a movie.. It's normal. I can imagine them being bored at the end of the day [emoji23]
I found this interview interesting tho :)

My point is most of these little bits of information comes from her or her team, rarely from Michael. Michael has been giving various interviews so he had plenty of opportunities to talk about her or their relationship but we got pretty much nothing. I don't know how I can explain it more simply than that.

Any chance to see a trailer for TAU as well before TIFF? I don't know how these things work.. American Pastoral is going to TIFF and we already have a trailer..
