Michael Fassbender Talks About Movie 'Frank'

I took this video during a press event with the cast of "Frank." Michael Fassbender said, "We were really fortunate to have a three-week rehearsal period. That was a great luxury and thank God we got three weeks rehearsal time before Christmas and then we started filming after the Christmas period so that gave us a chance to get to know one another but also to really try to understand Steven and Lenny’s music. I think the really hard task for these guys was to find music that was arty but not pretentious. That had a real truth to it. That wasn’t commercial but wasn’t awful and had moments that were quite catchy but not anything to be in the vein of pop music. It was really a huge undertaking for them and I think they did a great job. Then it was just about us adjusting to that and getting to know it and getting familiar with it. I think all of us are musical people. I know I’ve always liked music and it’s always been in and around my life. So it was nice to fulfill a fantasy and play in a band. Although, last night we played our last gig and I thought I’d enjoy it more. It was quite stressful actually." *Michael Fassbender is seated next to Domhnall Gleeson
