Fassbender and Gleeson to Star in Comedy Frank

It has been announced that two of Ireland’s most talented, and rather gorgeous, actors will be combining their talents for an upcoming film.

Shame star Michael Fassbender and Domhnall Gleeson from the Harry Potter films will be working together on Lenny Abrahamson's film FRANK.

Michael Fassbender has won critical acclaim for his performance in Shame.

The movie, which comes from Film4 and the Irish Film Board, is a comedy about an aspiring musician called Jon (played by Gleeson) who joins a band fronted by Frank (played by Fassbender) but finds out very quickly that he has thrown himself in at the deep end.

Now that is one band we'd consider being a groupie for!

Speaking about the project James Hickey, Chief Executive of The Irish Film Board, said: ‘We are delighted to be working with Element Pictures and Film4 on this exciting project.

‘Lenny is a great Irish filmmaker while Michael and Domhnall are exceptional world class Irish actors making this project a wonderful opportunity for the Irish Film Board to support Irish talent on the world stage.’

Domhnall Gleeson is most famous for his role in the Harry Potter films.

If you can’t wait until FRANK is released, Michael is currently working on Ridley Scott’s The Counselor while Domhnall has just finished shooting About Time with Rachel McAdams.
