A video of Michael Sheen on the red carpet of last night’s Primetime Emmy awards has been added to the Video Gallery.

Sadly, as reported earlier, Michael Sheen was unsuccessful in his nominated category of Lead Actor in a Drama or Miniseries, which was won by Al Pacino.

The anticipated US thriller ‘Unthinkable’ starring Michael Sheen, Samuel L Jackson and Carrie-Anne Moss is being released in the UK on DVD and Bluray on 13th September.

Michael-Sheen.co.uk is offering you a chance to win a copy on Bluray. If you would like to be in with a chance of winning then please click on the competition link below and answer a few very simple questions!

Being the impatient soul that I am, I ordered a copy sometime ago from the US. If you were in any doubt about whether to purchase a copy or not, then dont hesitate – buy one! It is a brilliant edge-of-the-seat drama and the main cast all put in truly amazing performances.

You can pre-order it NOW from Amazon. Links are available on the project page, which also includes a comprehensive synopsis (contains spoilers). Don’t forget to visit and ‘like’ the official Facebook page. You may also want to look at the Gallery which includes approximately 200 screencaps.

Most of you will already know by now, but unfortunately Michael Sheen did not win his nominated category of Lead Actor in a miniseries, at the Primetime Emmy’s last night.

I think I can say for us all that we are bitterly disappointed but he was in a category with some extremely talented and strong candidates. I think most people would struggle to beat the winner, Al Pacino, in an awards race.   This year was just not his time.

The story takes place before Tinker Bell met Peter Pan and the Lost Boys. Tink makes friends with a human girl named Lizzy and this friendship has to be kept secret from Lizzy’s stern scientist father, Dr Griffiths,  voiced by Michael Sheen.

The film is still on at selected cinemas around the UK and Australia and as yet, no definite DVD release date, although you can pre-order from Amazon.co.uk. It is available on DVD and Bluray in US from September 21st.  Links  are available on the project page.

Michael Sheen is set to do a 2 x 60 minute documentary called Passion Of Port Talbot, which sees him help the locals act out a modern version of The Passion, developed by Welsh poet Owen Sheers.

The Prospect Cymru production will hopefully air in Spring 2011. It was commissioned by BBC Wales’ Judith Winnan.

Back in November last year, it was announced that Michael would be the creative director, and star, in a performance of The Passion play Easter weekend April 2011. Set around his hometown of Port Talbot as part of a National Theatre Wales production, he hopes to revive a town tradition and include the local people and locations.

In April this year, Michael was seen handing out leaflets to locals in Port Talbot, to encourage their participation.

Tickets for the production go on sale December 6th 2010.
