Sounds wonderful! I wonder what that does to the Wild Bunch (never confirmed)? Long dry spell will end, it seems, this fall.

Yes, thank goodness Michael seems to be flexing the acting muscles again. I’ve really missed him on screen and now that awards season is cranking up, his absence is even more stark to me.

I’m not sure what’s happened with The Wild Bunch either, but I can’t say I’m too bothered now, as it’s such a hot potato of a film.

I just watched Next Goal Wins (the documentary) and it's a wonderful film. But there is plenty of room for a scripted film--a lot of the documentary consists of interviews with the various people, which the film can dramatize fully.

I saw it a couple of years ago and re-familiarised myself with it this evening and I totally agree with you. If done in the tone of ‘Hunt for the Wilderpeople’ it will be great. The characters are already there, and Michael has a real opportunity to show a huge range of emotions with the infectious enthusiasm of Thomas, plus the comedy, and of course the back story with the daughter.

If he dropped some muscle mass, Jason Mamoa has a perfect look to play a one or two of the players, and it would be really fun to see those two act together.
Around the time that Michael's name was batted around for The Wild Bunch, there was a report that names were being thrown around that the studio wanted so that people could be disgusted by them working with Mel Gibson so that Mel could cast the people he really wanted. No idea whether or not that's true, but it could explain things. That film may also be earlier in the pre-production process. Sounds like this one is well along with reports it'll film in November. So depending, he could still do both perhaps.

Got to watch it! It was fun to see him being a regular guy rather than having to be on performing. It was nice to see how receptive and appreciative he was of the coaching and critique. I liked how respectful he was of his coach’s expertise. And the visibility driving at those speeds in the rain? Holy moley!
