Actor Michael Fassbender Deftly Dodges A JAMES BOND Innuendo, Briefly Comments On PROMETHEUS

Speaking to InStyle Magazine, the current "it" Hollywood star fields questions about his rumored interest in James Bond and his work on Prometheus.

QUESTION: After Inglourious Basterds and X-Men: First Class, this is the third time you’ve played a special agent of sorts. Is Haywire really another covert audition for Bond?

FASSBENDER: "We’re sort of talked about it before, funnily enough, both in X-Men and Haywire. Both Matthew and Steven made references to James Bond. It was the look they were looking for: spies, espionage, this sort of thing. And I do think with Haywire, especially the scenes I’m in, there is something of an old-school 60s or 70s espionage film. I always felt that when we were doing it. But it certainly wasn’t something that I was seeking out. It just happened to be, that was the material and that was the job."


QUESTION: What can you tell us about your newest movie Prometheus?

FASSBENDER: "It’s the must-see film of 2012! I play the humanoid android. The first thing that struck me was a good script. Really intelligent script. A real thriller. Real anticipation. The first alien had that. The atmosphere was thick. You knew that something was going to happen. Which is very rare that you can read that in a script. And also, Ridley Scott is the master. He’s amazing. Really something else to watch him work. His attention to detail. And also his mischievousness, his playfulness. And again, no idea is stupid for him. He’ll let you bring it to the floor and have a go at it. I really, really enjoyed working with him. And of course the cast."

Also, here's a brutal fight scene between Fassbender and Gina Carano in the upcoming film, HAYWIRE.
